Creative residency.

Transformer for the use of small, wasted energies is a sound performance, giving sight and sound to a gallery of living, loud, low-energy ready-mades.

In a white cube-like space, the public is invited to visit an exhibition organized by the foundation for contemporary art of a fictitious energy supplier: the SILEX group.

Here, the foundation presents its collection of sound sculptures made up of improbable body/machine assemblages: on pedestals of various shapes and sizes, performers' bodies are coupled to devices designed to recycle their "wasted" bodily energies in the form of sound energy.

By extending the issue of energy waste to the human body, this sound performance questions, with corrosive humor, our fantasies of high performance, perpetual intensity and infinite self-regeneration. It presents "augmented bodies" on the verge of derangement, whose energies leak out in all directions, producing uncontrolled sonorities at the cost of immense effort. Sound reveals these unruly energies, which constantly escape the control of their "interpreter".
