Radio commons: Exploration - Cultivating an inhabited territory

Web radio
Through a journey to the garden-city of the French La noue-Clos neighborhood in Montreuil, in Seine-Saint-Denis, we explore the construction of a territory to be re-imagined, the possibility of creating a more harmonious space of cohabitation that would take into account the diversity of life forms, our existential and cultural singularities. Listening to an eggplant leaf or a bee, planting salads, building a hut, screwing, sawing, listening to the sound of earthworms, as small steps to transform our relationships with multiple existences, recognizing our interdependencies and apprehending new "Ways of being alive" * more humble and welcoming * B.Morizot.
This sound object, between documentary and essay, explores our links to the living and gives voice to life in its most vivid expression: a sound composition of human and non-human activities and languages, on an inhabited territory that is as much geographical as it is relational.  This sound exploration of the living world goes from the macro to the micro, from the sky to the subsoil, and from all terrestrial activities of construction and communication. A kind of sensitive and experimental attempt to question the quality of our presence in the world as inhabitants.  

Directed by Cécile Funke, with the participation of the artist Karine Bonneval, the initiator of the urban farm project Jean-Roch Bonnin, Dominique and Magda from the association On sème tous, bearer of the urban farm project, Fatia and the inhabitants of the neighborhood met along the way, the children and animators of the Maison de Quartier and Cléo.

Swarming humus, crackling glaciers, crystalline symphonies... When the artists reveal the soundtrack of the planet, our ears discover an unknown world.

Concordanse sauvage

Concordanse sauvage

Arteppes, Mikado art center, Annecy
opening on Thursday 12 March at 6.30 pm
exhibition from March 12 to April 25

Sarah Battaglia and Karine Bonneval

"Concordance is the salt of the wild life, which makes its adventure on earth exciting. (...) An anthropomorphism of symbiosis. "Guillaume Logé, Wild Renaissance

"Embracing your shadow in a dream
my bones bent like flowers."
Alejandra Pizarnik, Approximations, Bueno Aires 1956-1958

Concordanse sauvage is this sensitive dialogue that is danced between the animal and plant world. Lulled by the delicate curves of nature in perpetual motion, the exhibition is lived and revealed, with harmony, through the universe of two women artists, Karine Bonneval and Sarah Battaglia.

The bone, inserted by the presence of the ceramic bundle, makes the link between plant and vertebrate beings. In my imagination the bone is present in the forest, in the subsoil, it makes the link with the vegetable kingdom.
Sarah Battaglia

Plants have a different way of being in the world than we do. How do we move with them?
How can we listen to what is happening around us, but also under our feet?
Karine Bonneval

Living Planet: The sound of soil

Living Planet: The sound of soil

Radio DW Akademie

Have you ever wondered what soil sounds like? No? Even ecology professor Mathias Rillig, who runs a lab at Berlin’s Free University researching soil, plants and fungus, had never thought about the sound of soil. That's until he started working with artist Karine Bonneval, who was determined to listen to what’s going on underground.

The artist who co-authored a paper and expanded my professional network
Karine Bonneval’s residency in Matthias Rillig’s lab, and a question he first dismissed as silly, had unexpected consequences for each of them.

Karine Bonneval, Artist
Matthias Rillig, Plant Ecologist, Freie Universität Berlin
Can listen to the soil, what sounds could it make? We walk on a complete universe, a complex mixture of living beings, nutrients and minerals in constant interaction. Artist Karine Bonneval and plant ecologist Matthias Rillig started collaborating in 2016 – exploring the acoustic information carried by the soil. By making its voice heard, they open up new vistas of the world around us.

Daniel et Niana Carasso 's founding, Composing knowledge

Daniel et Niana Carasso 's founding, Composing knowledge

Launched for the first time in 2015, the call for projects "Composing knowledge to better understand the challenges of the contemporary world" aims to support transdisciplinary and collaborative knowledge production. The Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation is convinced that in order to meet the challenges of today's society, it is necessary to create spaces for the hybridization of knowledge between science and the humanities, the arts and society.
Vertimus: Supported by Studio Décalé, an independent association specialising in art and science, the project was conceived by the visual artist Karine Bonneval, in partnership with researchers (French and foreign) specialised in plants. This project calls on a wide range of knowledge and know-how: scientific knowledge with the involvement of INRA; artistic techniques with the visual artist Karine Bonneval, the performer Emilie Pouzet, the composer Emmanuel Hubaut, the curator Natacha Seignolles; philosophical theories contributed by the philosopher of ethics Karen Houle. The project aims to give citizens new keys to read living things in order to develop empathy with the plant world around us and thus understand our environment with a new perspective.
