David Letellier (FR)

Versus (2011)

 

Versus is a sound installation consisting of two kinetic sculptures placed face to face. The original sound is continuously transformed, and becomes something entirely new and unpredictable. The memory of past events is put on hold for a moment, until it is reproduced, degraded, and then forgotten, replaced by the present.

 

Letellier was born in France in 1978 and studied and graduated in architecture in Rennes (FR) and Berlin (DE). Currently living in working in Berlin, David Letellier focuses on the perception of sound and space, on the edge of architecture, sound and art. His work, ranging from audiovisual performances, sound installations, to autonomous machines or conceptual drawings, can be defined as "an attempt to express sound as a form in movement".
