Dans le ventre de la baleine
Maryse Goudreau’s sonic and tactile work, Dans le ventre de la baleine, grants entry to a unique world, one spectator at a time.
Immersive Experience
The multidisciplinary artist Maryse Goudreau, author of La conquête du béluga, has been following this fascinating animal for two decades. Her sonic and tactile work, Dans le ventre de la baleine, grants entry to a unique world, one spectator at a time. Thanks to a small sensory listening device, the sound waves of belugas invite participants to immerse themselves in the heart of a nursery habitat. What do they have to tell us?
