In this installation, there will be nine stations of "closed ears". Ear-plugs,
made of various materials, more similar to shells then to electronic ear muffs.
Each calibrated on particular resonances. A kind of collection of auditory
filters that make long, rich and varied the pathway to the silence. And that
reveal, inspire and make us guess the landscape around the Temple of
Apollo.
