Pourtant, avant l’arrivé de l’industrie sur son territoire, cette petite bourgade proche de la forêt de Fontainebleau a abrité pendant 250 ans une verrerie artisanale où plusieurs générations de verriers ont prospéré.

Les Souffles (The Breaths) is the translation from one language to another, the transformation of sound into a writing in which the alphabet is yet to be defined. A phonogram is literally the written but arbitrary transcript of a sound. Here, the sound escapes from the vinyl and the writing is just some beeswax fixed to the disc, originally used to improve its performance. Chips form in each groove, with each new turn, and disappear to give way to new ones. The process is repeated and the wax tells us the music as the materiality of the lived moment. The disc rotates, the man dances on one side, the wax forms on the other, indefinitely. As if the real was inexhaustible and mechanical.
