The Luxembourg pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale features 'Sonic Investigations,' a sound installation curated by Bansac, Fritsch, and Loumeau. This immersive exhibit encourages visitors to engage with sound, using field recordings to explore Luxembourg's landscape through biological and geological sounds. It critiques the dominance of visual imagery, advocating for listening to uncover deeper environmental relationships. The experience includes a commissioned sound piece by Ludwig Berger and emphasizes sensory engagement beyond sight, inspired by composer John Cage's work, inviting audiences to consider Luxembourg from non-anthropocentric perspectives.
The exhibition curators propose understanding the Biennale context as a platform for generating knowledge rather than physical objects, emphasizing that listening can reveal unseen dynamics.
Sonic Investigations is presented as a counter-project to the hegemony of images, emphasizing listening as a crucial means to explore built and natural environments.
