Stone Speakers: immerse yourself in Julian Charrière's volcanic exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo

A most singular work for art and science lovers to discover... The Palais de Tokyo welcomes Julian Charrière and his immersive exhibition Stone Speakers - Les bruits de la terre, from October 17, 2024 to January 5, 2025. The Franco-Swiss artist invites visitors to plunge into a volcanic landscape, at the heart of which resonates the deep murmurs of the planet. A multi-sensory experience, between art and science, that promises to shake up our perception of nature.

In this site-specific exhibition, Julian Charrière uses an ambisonic installation to capture the sounds of volcanoes in regions as far-flung as Indonesia, Iceland and Sicily. These recordings give voice to the bowels of the earth, depicting a vibrant, living world where tectonic plates and tides intermingle. The artist creates a " parliament of volcanoes ", a space where telluric dialogues are amplified to remind us that the planet is much more than just an inert mass, but a geological actor in perpetual motion.

Known for his interdisciplinary approach, Julian Charrière combines performance, sculpture and video to blur the boundaries between art and science. His expeditions, carried out in collaboration with scientists, philosophers and art historians, are at the origin of his works. This approach enables him to question the notion of nature through the prism of Romanticism and theAnthropocene, offering a reflection on the way humanity shapes and perceives its environment.

An invitation to rethink our relationship with the planet, exploring alternative narratives about the Earth's geological past, present and future. And a great day out for lovers of contemporary art and nature, at the Palais de Tokyo.
