Noir, c’est pas noir is an investigation where immobility and action dialogue with space, sound, and time, aiming to demonstrate that architecture is a living art, perhaps the most alive of all, that architecture is a sound art, perhaps the most sonorous of all. While other artistic disciplines stand before the body for it to observe, surround, and interpret them, architecture is the one that observes and perceives the bodies, it is the one that welcomes them, distributes them, directs them, classifies them, hides them, protects them, embraces them, surrounds them, exposes them, eliminates them. We aim to explore this peculiar relationship with the body through light and sound: how they affect architecture, how they traverse it, how they glide through it. Therefore, this work is about what happens when the daylight slowly fades and the house is left in silence, dark. Noir, c’est pas noir is about closing the blinds and turning off the lights; trying to open everything and hide behind the curtains.
