Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz (AT) and Je partage votre point de vue. La Galerie de la Générale. Paris (FR); In encounters where one doesn't share a common language or understanding – either with humans or animals – can the medium of recording and its playback be used as means to a possible exchange or translation? When does a sound become a voice and is it possible to translate something one does not understand, for example the songs of Gibbons in Indonesia or a particular scene of human exchange? These where some of the questions addressed in the artist's presentation entitled 'Untranslation'.
