The text “Tausend Himmel and the equivalence principle”, related to a series of the photographer Joachim Schmid, has been published in this French magazine devoted to sound issues in art. +
This first issue questions and challenges the often blurred boundaries between sound art and contemporary art presenting sound as a medium or simple referent. It also broaches the figurative dimension of sound through its pictorial, photographic and sculptural representations, as distinct – by way of their silence – from strictly acoustic and sonic considerations. Some articles explore its time-related dimension, especially through the recording factor and the exhibition format. All areas of interest which give a glimpse of the scope of the intermingled territories of sound and the visual arts.
