Anri Sala's Sonic Architecture at Centre Pompidou

The exhibition by Anri Sala at the Centre Pompidou, running from May 2 to August 6, 2012, showcases his film '1395 Days without Red'. This piece illustrates a day during the prolonged 1,395-day siege of Sarajevo, intertwining a symphony orchestra's rehearsal of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique with the experiences of a young musician. The exhibition crafts a spatial and auditory map across various screens, complemented by three additional films. Representing France at the 2013 Venice Biennale, Sala has been engaged with moving images since the early 1990s, placing a strong emphasis on sound in his recent projects. He examines narrative and architecture, referencing 'Answer Me', filmed in Buckminster Fuller's dome, and connects the orchestra's performance to the musician's path, influenced by the city's landscape. Additionally, Sala draws on Tlatelolco Clash, focusing on gesture and the interplay between time and tempo.
