Violaine Lochu
Artist
Continuing her research into bird song in France and Lapland, Violaine Lochu, in an exercise of hybridization (much more than imitation) that engages not only her voice but her whole body, reinvents herself as a bird-woman (echoing perhaps the mermaids of mythology, equally important figures in her work). The accordion, played, scraped and struck, accompanies this metamorphosis.
