“Tentative d'épuisement d’un lieu parisien” (Longform Editions, 2020)
“Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien” was released on 12 February 2020 on Longform Editions Australia the deep listening music digital platform. The music is based on Richard Skinner’s essay, “Georges Perec's Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien” (An attempt at exhausting a place in Paris), collected in Joiners: Essays, Reviews & Interviews (VanguardEditions 2019).
In October 1974, the French writer Perec spent three days at Le Café de la Mairie in Place Saint-Sulpice, Paris, recording everything that passed through his field of vision. A wonderful exercise in observation and description. We’ve tried to relive sonically with Georges Perec in mind our drifting away at the Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris, a special place in our heart.
For this project Pablo's Eye are: Axel Libeert, Luc Laret, Marie Mandi, Johan Coopman & Richard Skinner. Visuals by Johan Coopman. Copyright Pablo's Eye/Richard Skinner/Johan Coopman.
