Broadcast throughout the exhibition on two visible speakers, made for public spaces, the sound installation The Site of Sound was recorded on cassette in Marseille in 2023, during the successive riots following the death of Nahel Merzouk.
Hannan Jones chose to exclude the noise of the violence from his field recordings and to instead compose a fragmentary sound portrait of Marseille, in which you can hear the sea, the celebrations of July 14 and July 5 (Algerian Independence Day), as a reminder that, for the artist, “the past is entwined with the present.” - Victorine Grataloup
