Sound performance by Claire Frachebourg
Pyramides d'Euseigne, Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 5pm

Claire Frachebourg has superimposed the map of the Herens and Hérémence valleys on that of the serpent constellation, placing serpentinite blocks in each locality. These blocks, split and open like books, are comparable to snake eggs, the bearers of creation myths. Slices taken from each one are brought together under the ancient tunnel of the Pyramides d'Euseigne, tall columns of earth topped with blocks of stone, shaped by glacial erosion. The serpentinite that caps the Pyramids has traveled from the seabed to the sky, carrying with it the vibratory resonance of its history. The work, inaugurated on September 21, 2024, will be activated by a sound performance at each autumn equinox.
