Geir Egil Bergjord
Pierre Henry's House of Sounds
224 Pages
21 x 28 cm
2011
Since 1971, Pierre Henry has lived and worked in one of the remaining buildings in the Picpus area of Paris. Not only the composer’s workshop, a place to create music, his four storey house is a true museum of sounds, objects and assemblages put together by this genuine innovator. In addition, with the audience seated in separate rooms, the house occasionally serves as a venue for concerts generously conducted in his own home.
The book is a meeting between the camera of Bergjord, who seems to track the invisible through the object, and this oneiric world created by Henry in his house. The result creates its own imaginary structure, moving room by room, like a visit in the house, from macro close-ups to overviews. A seemingly endless flow of photos – accompanied by a CD with previously unreleased pieces by Henry.
