Panoramique des obligations

2016

Panorama of bonds

Soundrack, bluetooth headphones, audio player, coat-peg.

Panoramique des obligations is presented in the form of a set of wireless headphones hung on the wall. Two voices are heard, the voice of a woman and the voice of a man, which respond to each other in the manner of a stereophonic game of table tennis, announcing the interest rates of different sovereign bonds around the world the day after the Greek referendum on 5 July 2015. As visitors move around the exhibition space, they become the constantly disorientated centre of gravity of an exchange of decontextualised bond values.
