This project takes the form of a sound installation that choreographs the inhabitants’ daily life. Its goal is to reflect about the daily events of the city, via a sound composition (polyphony), more specifically through a concert lasting 3 minutes. These concerts will be presented in previously determined and announced times, creating therefore a new sound ambiance for a specific site, transporting, even if briefly, the collective imaginary into another completely distinct collective, creating a simulated space. The final aim of the project is to generate fictional sound coordinates contained within the events duration, and which might possibly trigger the inter-relationship and involvement of the population in the construction of daily-life and the enjoyment of the collective space, legitimising this space as a site for collective and individual expression.
