Mongolian is RRRReally Harrrrd !! .... for a French person ...

Working at a commissioned sound piece for Solo Art, Solo Heart in July.
In collaboration with the Language Cafe, I have asked people to answer the questions from "What do you love ?" in their language.  They help me to practice. The final piece will be my voice saying people's answers in different languages.

En sac à dos en Crète - Backpacking in Crete - journal

Image
(in English underneath-  Translated with DeepL.com ) Dimanche 4 août 2024.   Sunday 4 August 2024. J'ai beaucoup aimé cette phrase d’un internaute donnant des conseils pour faire son sac à dos. C’était quelque chose comme : « les peurs pèsent lourd ».  Effectivement : l’anti-moustique, les gélules d’arnica pour les douleurs, les comprimés préventifs en cas d’infection urinaire … ça pèse quelques centaines de grammes peut-être.  Et puis j’ai peut-être pris un peu trop de shampoing et de crème pour le corps. Mais j’ai enlevé quelques trucs qui pesaient un total de 300 g ! Peurs.  Et si … ? Et si …., ? Et si …. ?   Ma plus grande inquiétude c’est mon corps. J’ai des douleurs en ce moment que je connais bien, liées aux tensions musculaires, elles-mêmes liées au stress … Alors je m’inquiète pour la marche du 2eme jour : la descente des gorges de Samaria. Avec mon sac à dos lourd de toutes mes peurs. Ce voyage es...

Visite du site de l'exposition coloniale de 1897 - Visit of the site of the 1897 colonial exhibition - AfricaMuseum - Bruxelles

This month, I visited the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren, near Brussels. The context in which this museum was created is very heavy. I started with a walk along the site where the 1897 colonial exhibition took place and where "African villages"/"human zoos" were built. Ce mois-ci, j'ai visité l'AfricaMuseum à Tervuren, près de Bruxelles. Le contexte dans lequel ce musée a été créé est très lourd. J'ai commencé par une promenade sur le site où l'exposition coloniale de 1897 a eu lieu et où des « villages africains »/"zoos humains" ont été construits. Aerial view of the site where the 4 "African villages" were built.

Ann Hamilton - Pinhole photos

Image
Ann Hamilton's pinhole camera portraits, taken using a tiny camera in her mouth. "So I devised, over a number of years (it was sort of something that was in the background for a long time) a way of making pinhole cameras, which is very simple, but to make my mouth the aperture . I don't go into the darkroom and load the film in my mouth and then come out and do it, so it is actually still an object that's inserted into my mouth - but to have the orifice of the place where speech exits the body actually become the eye, and to just play with that. Then it was in the process of actually taking those pictures, seeing what they looked like, seeing in fact how the shape of the mouth is very much the same shape as the eye, and seeing myself become almost like the pupil within. The image of my head becomes almost like the pupil in the middle of the mouth, which is eye-shaped." Ann Hamilton Interview about Pinhole Photos
