IMPAKT30 by Jérôme Poret

Panoramic sound view of a metal factory on strike—with the workers— in the early 2000’s, right before its plant closed down.

Jérôme Poret has been scavenging abandoned sounds from industrial wastelands, public areas as well as phonography for many years, the way a rag-and-bone man would do. With the gathered material, he builds narratives–halfway between sound documents and musical fiction–on the aggregates of the 20th century.
