In partnership with
Following their performance at the Gaîté Lyrique, Lolo & Sosaku take over the Les Chaudronneries, an industrial edifice which was occupied in 2024 for the opening of the Festival d’Automne. Transcending their different states, the materials used in the installation unveil the place itself and inhabit it with a presence.
"When we first arrived at the workshop, it was like leaving the city behind and entering into the forest : we couldn’t see anything… then little by little things began to reveal themselves—the repetition of trees, the variations in the trunks, beneath the bark, from the outer rings to the centre, the insects in the grass… ” Letting things come, patiently, and perception, is a pre-requisite. Since whatever we see or hear, straightaway, is not what matters. The work of Lolo & Sosaku likens itself to an immersion in a dense, perhaps misty space, in which the unstable forms, machines and sounds, seemingly with an autonomy of their own, give themselves over in a generous, humble manner. Time appears to be suspended, or slowed, allowing the place to breathe, pulsate or murmur, in all its grandeur and epic simplicity. As for this place, temple-like, we are not occupying it, we do not take up our place within it, rather it possesses us and links us, in an inclusive way, natural elements, objects and human beings. By turns sound installation or sculptural composition, we resonate to its sounds and rhythms.
