Short docu about me & my work :)

Short film about Sophie Calles expo

I made an audio-visual transcription of Sophie Calle's exhibition “Les Fantômes d'Orsay” for Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The expo is about the old, abandonded Hotel d'Orsay where Sophie spend months collecting and photographing it's remains in 1978. Creating the soundscape for this film I used, among others, the voices of my mother (French is her first language) and of our cat Vos. I made sound recordings in our old family chalet in Switzerland and in the remaining parts of the Hotel d'Orsay in Paris.

Below is a text I wrote at the request of Musée d'Orsay about my intentions and the creative process of making this film. The animation was made in collaboration with Zoltan Korai. (Watching the film is recommended with headphones :)

Here's an English subtitled version of the film:
