Lise Lebleux, was born in 1998 in Vesoul, Haute-Saône. She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) in Lyon.
I traverse a territory in search of the acoustic specifics that are unique to it, and I attempt to record the unique sonic connections that exist between the residents and their environments. This study involves following individuals who invite me to listen to their environment of activity or life, and intersecting these sonic moments with the broader acoustics of the territory. Recording the presence and speech of a person is primarily based on a relationship of communication and trust, and it allows for the preservation of a sonic trace. The biologist and surgeon Henri Laborit explains in his book Biologie et Structure that: "What is language, indeed, if not a means of preserving the time and experience of past generations in a signal, most often sonic or optical?" Thus, each sound piece created results from the recordings of a specific and unique time, with its intrinsic conditions.
My site-specific sound installations are created from the acoustic, architectural, and historical specifics of the exhibition spaces. I seek to establish direct connections between the recording locations and the places of exhibition and diffusion. The French writer Bastien Gallet has had a significant influence on my sound installation practice. In his book Composer des étendues, he explains that: "Installing sounds, that is to say, creating a sonic expanse, is added to the place in such a way that it has the power to change its state, making this state sensitive to the slightest presence. Installing sounds means composing an expanse and its encounter with the place."
