Haut Parleur (Loud Speaker) Andrew Kötting 2007 5 mins 48 seconds Colour

I decided to make a video recording of every loud speaker in the town and then proposed to Michael Gluck that he prepare some 'poetry' for a live art performance. This he did to a slightly bemused community one lunchtime on Tuesday 21st November , 2006. It is the first time that a public address system has been used to broadcast poetry in France and the sound heard is that recorded on the day. Michael's poetry is a testament to Sainte Colombe sur l'Hers, its' people and its' history. Valorisation du patrimoine.A.K
