Blending raw textures with altered everyday sounds, Des murs en carton presents a living installation where sounds, materials, and gestures intertwine. For three consecutive days, artist Marie-Claude Gendron will inhabit a temporary cardboard apartment, where she will perform a live sound composition.
Drawing on her experience with hyperacusis, a condition of auditory hypersensitivity with which she lives, the project seeks to make perceptible what escapes the eye. The gaps in the set-up reveal to the audience different levels of sound perception within a space that is both intimate and constructed.
The fragility of cardboard resonates with that of housing and bodies, like a poetic echo of precariousness and the difficulty of fully inhabiting an increasingly compartmentalized world. By transforming a vacant space into a sensitive refuge, Marie-Claude Gendron examines our walls—those that protect, isolate, or exclude—and the boundaries between the intimate, the private, and the collective.
Combining art, care, and social reflection, Des murs en carton opens up a space for shared resonance. Here, the artist approaches vulnerability not as a flaw, but as a lucid, fragile, yet resilient presence in the world.
Free and open to everyone!
