Pierre Redon

In 2016, Redon inaugurated a monumental creation spanning five years of work. The Sounds from Beyond (Les Sons des Confins) comprises a series of 8 Marches Sonores over more than 600 kilometers, from the source of the Vienne river, following this river's bed all the way to the estuary of the Loire River. This creation, which brings together several partners, is part of a public art commission from the French Ministry of Culture and Communication This commission stands out as an exemplary project with the C.N.A.P. (French national center for plastic arts) by offering a new perspective on art in public spaces through an immaterial art form, sound art. The ensuing publication comes with a text by art critic and essayist Christophe Domino.

His work on hypnosis and healing, which he initiated in 2015 with the Marche Sonore, Lichen, body, gender and sexuality, commissioned by the city of Reims with the intersex activist Hida Viloria, opens up new routes in his approach to documentary work, ecology and healing. He has developed a form of organic and instinctive music combining multiple approaches to composition, with musicians from every musical horizon; graphic score, improvisation, oral communication, instrumental techniques or electroacoustics.

From 2003 onwards, through the practice of field recording, sound in landscape becomes a central axis of his art, and he brings into play the relationship to the landscape, which he defines as a border; a state of awareness of the sensory relationship to the environment. His work opens up to plastic art installations, drawing art, documentary film, image, with walking progressively integrated as a corporal and sensory approach to places.

From 2001 to 2020, Pierre Redon worked on developing a creation called "9" Sound and Healing where the relationship of body and sound is at the forefront, as well as his research on transgenerational memories. In particular, he questions the links between magic and science, by organizing a conference with psychiatrists from the Cadillac Hospital Center (France), entitled "Quand les magiciens rencontrent les scientifiques" (When magicians meet scientists).
