Jérémy Chevalier

Spirale Névrose

Performance

Lo-Fi Absurditites

Presented in the form of a performance, Spirale névrose brings together various aural experiments, texts and sound poetry. Using loudspeakers broadcasting recorded voices, I explore the repetition of language, the absurdity of communication and the power that comes with being a speaker.
