Brumes Sonores | Mana Rouholamini

Brumes Sonores explores walking, languages, and texts. Walking is a physical journey through the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau. It is also an exploration of a route through streets—imaginary and imagined—of words in different languages, poetry, sounds, the opening and closing of the Rideau Canal locks, conversation, and sharing. The inspiration for the project comes, among other things, from this sentence by Michel de Certeau: "To walk is to lack a place. It is the indefinite process of being absent and in search of a place of one's own." (The Practice of Everyday Life by Michel de Certeau, vol. 1).

This work was created as part of a residency for first-time artists at Centre de production DAÏMÔN in Gatineau, Quebec from June 22 to July 4, 2015. The languages we hear are Hungarian, Telugu, Russian, and Serbian. Thanks to Adolf James, Bozica Radjenovic, Svetlana Swinimer, and Tavi Weisz for their voices, as well as Michael Caffrey and Raphaël Néron-Baribeau for their support during the creation process.

A creative project by Mana Rouholamini.
