Soundwalk : Paris La Défense

Soundwalk: Paris La Défense
Artist: Soundwalk Collective (2001)
Installation date: 2018
Techniques: Sound walk
Soundwalk Collective takes visitors on a 30-minute sound journey through the heart of La Défense, Europe's largest open-air sculpture park. Soundwalk: Paris La Défense is a cinematic sound narrative that invites visitors to interact with the works of art and architecture for a multi-sensory experience in which the mind wanders between reality and the imaginary world, past and present. The story, written by journalist and writer Harry Bellet, is based on the site's architecture and perennial works. The sounds and music that resonate with the acoustic space of La Défense are specially created for the site by Soundwalk Collective. Soundwalk Collective's experience takes the walker into unknown territory, guided by the voice of Anna Mouglalis.
A word about the artist
Soundwalk is a sound art collective based between New York and Berlin. Since 2000, these nomads of sound have been tirelessly traveling to record the sounds of the world around us. The collective creates narrative, poetic and singular sound pieces. Their sound explorations combine anthropology, ethnography, non-linear narration, psycho-geography and observation. The raw material of their work is always anchored in a specific place, from which their research unfolds.
