Overview of the "Stone Speakers - The Sounds of the Earth" Exhibition by Julian Charrière
An Exploration of the Planet Through Sound
One of the most fascinating aspects of this exhibition is how it transforms our perception of the Earth. Using recordings made in volcanoes located in Colombia, Ethiopia, Iceland, Indonesia, and Italy, Julian Charrière immerses us in primordial sounds that reveal the geological processes shaping our planet. These recordings are far more than mere noise; they are living testimonies of magmatic activity, tectonic plate movements, and the tides that continuously transform the terrestrial environment. The artist thus creates a dialogue between mineral sculptures and live sounds from the depths of the Earth.
The exhibition presents itself as a true symbolic crater where visitors can enter and be transported into the vastness of nature while listening to the rumblings and echoes of magma chambers, as if the Earth itself were speaking to them. By integrating real-time data from seismic stations around the world, this experience becomes a live exploration of the geological forces shaping our world. It offers a rare opportunity to feel and listen to the planet in all its power and natural beauty.
