Résidence de Sonia Saroya et Edouard Sufrin

By bringing together the imaginaries and symbols conveyed by underground environments and industrial remains with the issues of emancipation raised by the humanities and philosophy, they attempt to highlight the paradoxes of our contemporary societies while reconsidering our possibilities for action and our know-how. Their work consists of installations that lie at the crossroads of sculpture, craftsmanship, and sound art, as well as creations resembling "tool-works," enabling the implementation of collective artistic experiences in marginalized spaces.

The Archipelago

This residency will allow us to extend our research on the relationships between mineral origins and the sounds of old electronic components with the aim of creating an instrumental work. A sound sculpture played by two people, intended to be activated during live performances, and the subject of collaborations with sound artists and musicians. In this archipelago, each island is both a sculpture and an instrumental module. The Archipelago is developed with the support of the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis, the Mains d’Oeuvres site and the GMEA.
