Anaïs Lossouarn presents Ce que la pierre retient du vivant (What the stone holds of the living, 2026)
she/her
May 22–31 | de Brakke Grond
In this tactical and sound installation, Anaïs Lossouarn activates the surface of stones through touch, producing sound by stroking their edges in a gesture reminiscent of playing a crystal glass. These subtle resonances are captured and transmitted through headphones. Suspended stone fragments are connected to a system that replays recorded heartbeats of individuals who were listening to the same stone.
Visitors are invited to hold the hanging stones and listen through headphones, sensing the faint, invisible rhythms of others. Through touch and sound, a tactile connection emerges between human and mineral bodies, where the organic pulse of life enters into dialogue with stone as a resonant, receptive material. The result is a looped exchange between bodies, where listening and presence become shared across time.
About the artist
Anaïs Lossouarn creates spaces that invite slow attention and a gentle encounter with the unfamiliar. Her practice explores resonance and the relationships between matter and the living: how vibrations travel through bodies and materials, and how listening can become a shared, relational experience. By amplifying and recontextualising what already exists, she unsettles the sense of “already knowing” and opens space for renewed curiosity and perception.
