Speech is the beginning of society. Whether sacred, profane, given, received, money

or honour, speech is both the first tool and last resort of mankind. Imperfect, speech

unites as much as it divides. Vital, it attracts as much as it stirs up, injures as much

as it soothes. A vector of sharing and misunderstanding, the only thing worse than its

prohibition is its abrogation. Its negation.

TALK depicts the simplest possible action verbs, but declined according to the stand-

point of antagonists from three groups belonging to the same community. TALK wants

to highlight the differences in meaning that every word may reveal, depending on the

individuals using them or hearing them.

The visitor exploring the TALK project will find themselves plunged into a grandiose

artistic experience of sound and light. Here, the electronic language is expressed

through music and colour. The visitor becomes the privileged observer of the distur-

bances generated by this relentless evolution of electronic systems, always divergent

but never ceasing to communicate.
