The installation 'The Structure of Voices', presented at the Musée des Tapisseries in Aix-en-Provence, explores the poetic reconfiguration of service voices within the urban landscape.

'The Structure of Voices' is an installation that subverts and reconfigures the traditional uses of voice and urban space. By amplifying and manipulating vocal fragments, this project offers a poetic détournement of service voices: a gentle yet unsettling intrusion, where disembodied voices emerge in the daily soundscape, creating sensitive, musical, and political disruptions.
The voice here is disembodied, anonymized, fragmented, treated as raw sonic material. Detached from its bodily origin, it circulates, transforms, and infiltrates the interstices of urban space. It emerges where unexpected, subverting the usual functions of sound systems to question the relationship between voice, authority, control, and intimacy.
