HOW TO BUILD A FIRE

Walking sonic fiction

for walkman and headphones, based Jack London’s How to build a fire

45’





Participants walk in a forest, vision free but listening limited by the headphones. While they can see their direct environment, they hear sounds of another one: the story of a man, alone with his dog in the cold Canadian winter. The sound is composed to superpose the story told with the direct visual environment, merging the real and the fiction in a multi-sensorial experience.
