Points d’ouïe et paysages auriculaires partagés, Dedans/Dehors
L’approche du paysage sonore Dedans/Dehors croise et irrigue régulièrement mes récentes expériences d’écoutes partagées. Comment les espaces fermés, empêchés dit-on, et ceux plus « ouverts », trouvent-ils des endroits communs, où circulent les sons, les paroles, la vie collective, les sociabilités… ?
