From first space observations to first travels, space has become an accessible territory to humankind, as well as a territory for environmental reflexion and speculation. Yet, space imagery is still only accessible to few of us. Through a collaborative visual and sonic research on embodiment, The Overview Project works as a sensorial time capsule between collective storytelling and intimate (hi)stories. The project re-introduces the viewer to well known and forgotten space footages through an editing work that combines text and an original soundscape composed for pipe organ at Église de Notre-Dame in Guebwiller. The sounds produced by a defective and out-of-breath engine completes the archival footage with a sense of nostalgia for the past and leads to reflect on the role of State narratives as a political weapon to shape inherited memory.

Collaboration with sound artist Thibault Mechler. The work can both be experienced through an installation and a live performance format.
