Lise Lebleux

Lise Lebleux, was born in 1998 in Vesoul, Haute-Saône. She graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) in Lyon. She works in several European countries, mainly Germany, Austria and France. Her artistic practice consists of creating sound compositions based on her own field recordings. Her artistic practice focuses in particular on the combinations between individuals and their acoustic environments. The idea is to follow these people as they listen to their working environment and to cross-reference these moments of sound with the wider acoustics of the area. In this way, each sound piece is the result of sound recordings of a specific and unique space, with its own intrinsic conditions.

Group exhibition on view until the end of September in Bad Ischl, in Austria, as part of the European Capitals of Culture 2024 :

Ces lieux d'à côté is a sound installation that attempts to transform the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof art centre into a sound observation post for different places. Through this sound composition, listeners gain access to places they will never visit, and it is only through listening that they are mentally projected into these different spaces.

In the main auditorium, the circular shape of the eight enclosures is reminiscent of the domes of observatories. Each speaker represents one of the eight locations in the sound composition. The reverberation naturally present in the exhibition is also integrated into the sound mix. The Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof has a high ceiling with a delay (time between the signal and its repetition) of several seconds. The field recordings took place in various spaces such as tunnels, caves and shafts. The reverberant acoustics of these spaces were accentuated by the architectural properties of the art centre. A sound installation is linked to the specific architectural features of a site, which establishes a relationship between the architecture of the exhibition space and the meanings and particularities of the sound recording locations. As the architect Richard Scoffier explains: "Architecture makes it possible to welcome people who are strangers to the world".
The second room in the exhibition space was dedicated to the question of translation. The three texts are in German, English and French, so that listeners can access the meaning of the vocal exchanges.

Site-specific sound installation exhibited at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, during a group show entitled, "If a Tree Falls in a Forest and No One Is Around; Does It Even Make a Sound". On view from December 2022 to January 2023.
