Sound installation with 3 speakers
Edition 3 (+ 2 A.P.)

Je-ne-sais-pas (I-do-not-know) is a mural sound installation for three speakers that take place on one or more walls. Set at different heights, three loudspeakers broadcast a series of very short sentences, several voices interspersed with long silences, and whose words and syllables stand out and circulate from one loudspeaker to another, giving a figure, trajectory and disproportion to the distances, voids and spaces contained between and in words.
