JULIAN CHARRIÈRE

Stone Speakers (Les bruits de la terre) Palais de Tokyo 17 October 2024–5 January 2025 Paris
Overview Location

Press Release

Stone Speakers is an immersive experience. It invites the audience to enter a volcanic landscape of mineral sculptures, amid which can be heard the primordial conversations of the earth. Using recordings of volcanoes made in Colombia, Ethiopia, Iceland, Indonesia and Italy, Julian Charrière connects us with the bowels of the planet, seen not as an inert kingdom, but on the contrary as a living, vibrant place. Magma chambers, tides, and tectonic plates all in motion come together.

The exhibition space, transformed into a symbolical crater, amplifies their rumbling, penetrating dialogues. It creates an architectural echo chamber exploring our relationship with other forms of life, using a live feed of data from global seismic monitoring stations that capture the sounds of rock and tectonic plates.
