“There are fragments that resist the logic of the narrative.

Bugs, so to speak.

They reappear constantly, here and elsewhere.”

Gaëtan Gromer

 

 

Les Archives du Vent (Archives of the wind) is a geolocated and interactive sound fiction that transforms public spaces into territories of exploration.

In a perfectly calibrated world, a mysterious wind deposits voices that cling to walls, trees, and sidewalks. They reveal fragments of life that sketch out ordinary gestures, as useless as they are necessary.

With Les Archives du Vent, the path is unclear; it navigates between attempts and renunciations. You choose everything: your path, the order in which you listen, what you keep or let go, how long it lasts.

Each walk creates a different archive.

The meaning is not revealed immediately; it is constructed as you walk. And what cannot be resolved is nevertheless inhabited.
