Worked <strong>in co-creation with the inhabitants of Offwiller and students</strong> of the Diemeringen College, <em>&Eacute;chelle / Massstab / Scala</em> <strong>reports on this intangible heritage once common to the entire Rhine basin area</strong> (fr / all / switzerland / ita) and proposes <strong>a plastic reading of this moment that connects</strong> (to others, to ancestors, to spaces, to times, to the earthly and celestial).</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/571577/Capture_d_e_cran_2019-02-14_a__14.27.09-1550323242.png" width="100%" /></p> <h2><strong>What is &quot;Schieweschlawe&quot;?</strong></h2> <p><em>&quot;So for the discus throw, we pick up a stick of about 1.50 meters in hazel wood, because it is a stick that bends easily (...) Then you have to have a disc of wood (.. .), put this disc on the stick, then put all that in a big fire, lit on the hill, until the disc caught fire, until it glows, when it glows, the staff is seized and pulled out of the fire, the stick is held and rotated a little so that the disk remains blazing, then we go to a rock, a rock which is inclined towards the sky, and we strike with the stick on the rock and when hit, the disc escapes to the sky, and normally, if it works well, flies away to the sky, high in the sky, and the more the disc flies high , the more we will be happy, they say, or we said, so it is also ... Some even make vows, before they hit the disc on the rock, they make wishes and if the disq It is said that this wish will be granted in the year. When the disc escapes, (...) it looks like ... luminous trails, as they say in French, in the sky, and there is a special atmosphere that night. &quot;</em></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/572336/Capture_d_e_cran_2019-02-16_a__14.31.47-1550676962.png" width="100%" /></p> <h2><strong>&Eacute;CHELLE / MASSSTAB / SCALA it is:</strong></h2> <p><br /> - <strong>a work of sound recordings</strong> (concrete sounds and interviews in French and Alsatian) started in January 2018, in the village of Offwiller with the forces of the territory that perpetuate this rite. I participated, recorder in hand and camera around the neck, to the preparations for the annual festival (collecting wood with the men of the village), I captured the making of wooden discs, and went to meet during several weeks of winter, villagers who participate in the success of this exceptional evening.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/572335/Capture_d_e_cran_2019-02-14_a__14.26.45-1550676897.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>- <strong>a photographic work film and digital</strong> from artifacts of the rite and meetings made.<br /> - <strong>a work of co-creation with students from Diemeringen</strong> (40km from Offwiller), who did not know this pagan festival, and who was discovered by my side and alongside their teachers and educational teams, through outings on site (visit of the site dedicated to the rite, visit of the museum of the village - house of Offwiller), interview with villagers, and through joint works (sound creation, improvisations with the orchestra class, digital photography and rayogrammes, drawing , ...) with the 4th, 5th and 3rd classes as well as young people from the Diemeringen Medical Education Institute.

GESTURE </strong>is a sound creation based on the concrete sounds inherent in the rite, from orchestral improvisations and sound effects made with the students and acoustic and electronic creations with 4 hands (Marine Froeliger + Janick Deneux). GESTURE repeats the phases of the rite in a linear way. We worked on writing composition with students.</p> <p><br /> <strong>2. WORDS</strong> is a sound creation based on interviews conducted in 2018 in Offwiller (solo or with students). Chase the winter? Fertilize the space? Raise good harvests? It is above all a form of symbollic investigation linked to this gesture perpetuated by tradition and pleasure.</p> <p><br /> These two sound tracks will be spatialized with two sound systems that will complement each other.<br /> GESTURE will be broadcast at 360 &deg;, WORDS will, as for it, to discover in a less direct way.</p> <p><br /> <strong>&bull; Digital photographic prints</strong> and silver stripes laminated on dibonds.<br /> <strong>&bull; digital photographs</strong> on screen<br /> <strong>&bull; a vinyl turntable, a specially-edited vinyl felt, an engraved beech wood disc (audible grooves on a turntable).</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; a mediation device in the form of an interactive sound table made with students from the Diemeringen College</strong><br /> <strong>&bull; a micro-edition </strong>retracing the stages of the project as a whole (process)<br /> <strong>&bull; Schlawe, a sculpture / instrument with sensor made from artifacts from the rite used for sound creation:</strong></p> <p><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="281" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FN-Kb7OKEEg8%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DN-Kb7OKEEg8&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FN-Kb7OKEEg8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=cb39d84f05d8439bbe96012f078e02b0&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500"></iframe><br /> <strong>&bull; a preview of the upcoming LP vinyl limited edition:</strong><br /> <strong>Face A: GESTURE<br /> Face B: WORDS </strong><br /> The vinyl box will include an inner poster, and will be composed from texts and photographs.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/572338/prefig_vinyle_en_solo2-1550677052.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
