“In its unfolding, Diane Landry’s performance also reaches the sonic horizon: the artist amplifies the sound produced as she unfolds a raincoat, previously drenched, folded and frozen; then she puts it on. When this is completed, a whistling kettle starts boiling, and the sound we hear is soon picked up by a note played on the violin—this is a proposal for an increased awareness of the existence of an ambient sound/music horizon. A short yet quite convincing performance.”
