Corps Sonores (sound installation)
Christian Leroy, Gauthier Keyaerts, Isa*Belle, Stéphane Kozik
Corps Sonores pays tribute to Philippe Franck, art historian, professor, lecturer, musician, and founder and director of Transcultures ASBL, who passed away in January 2025.
In this new work, artists Isa*belle Vrammout, Gauthier Keyaerts, and Stéphane Kozik choose to highlight Philippe’s energy, creativity, and innovative vision.
The starting point is a collection of T-shirts that Philippe Franck was particularly fond of—“fabric objects” full of memories—transformed into instruments of resonance. Sound silhouettes that move to the rhythm of an original composition, reconstructed and reinterpreted from his audio archive and published works.
The T-shirts come to life as if by magic—ghosts taking shape, swelling and undulating in a visual and aural ballet—hovering between the tangible and the evanescent. They leave behind both a material and immaterial trace of his presence: a sustained breath, a sound.
