Institute Soil Fictions – in pictures

Stroll with radarist © Anaïs Tondeur

Between the 18th of May and the 21st of June 2019, the Institute Soil Fictions investigated on the presence of a mysterious underground cloud in Montrouge… Multiple participative workshops about soils and key moments of the investigation federated young and old Montrougiens alike on an artistic project following the construction of Châtillon-Montrouge’s future railway station.

A stroll with a radarist first allowed the Institute to collect Montrouge’s soil waves. These waves were then used to elaborate a musical partition and, in parallel, musical tools were created to call the underground cloud. The Institute Soil Fictions’ orchestra, formed by locals, then played this partition using the musical tools as part of a big cloud call during France’s national Fête de la musique. This key event allowed the Institute Soil Fictions, with the help of Montrougiens, to free the Cumulus Subterraneus.

Throwback in images !

This project is developed by Institut Sols Fictions, a collective formed by artists, designers, scientists and curators in the Chantiers Partagés project of the Société du Grand Paris, under the artistic direction of José-Manuel Gonçalvès and 104Paris. It is lead in partnership with the city of Montrouge, Médiathèque de Montrouge, le Conservatoire de Montrouge, l’espace Colucci et le Salon de Montrouge.
