The inspiration for this installation comes from the figure and the works of
Armand Robin, poet, anarchist, translator who lived during the World War II
and dedicated himself to listening, for years, to the radio world. Robin wrote:
"Every night, I have the need to become all people and all countries. When
falls the shadow, I go out of my life and the radio hearings that I gift to
myself help me to conquer hardships in truth more than any restorative
sleep. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, German, Turkish, Russian ...
emit above me their little noise ... ".
Today that those "bulletins listening" are unfortunately lost, Erkizia operates
"re-inventing" a new sonorous diary and proposing a new listening
experience.
