There is something incredibly bizarre yet enchanting about coming home, but not quite. I grew up a 5-hour car ride away from Grenoble but had never set foot there until this opportunity came along. The landscapes so different, but the sounds, smells and people so familiar - it made something in my chest swell.
“Rhythms” is my creative response after a week spent in Grenoble, France. A cohort of 10 artists living in Manchester and Grenoble was invited to share, collaborate and create together as part of “Spotlight” a cultural and artistic exchange funded by the British Council.
I got on the plane clueless as to what my creative response would be, I came back with too many ideas for one person to explore. I ended up settling on the following: a soundscape accompanied by a video attempting to encapsulate the rhythms of the city of Grenoble. Its people, nature and infinite things that make up its heartbeat.
Please wear headphones if that’s available to you.
And visit this magnificent city if you ever get the chance.
