Sounds from Beneath (2011 – 2012) presents a choir of former miners who imitate the sounds of the mine through singing. The clink of the machines, the muted echo of the galleries and the murmur of hundreds of men at work rise up over the desolate landscape. Like a call to go underground, this video by Mikhail Karikis (born in 1975, lives and works in London) and Uriel Orlow (born in 1973, lives and works in London) serves as the introduction to the exhibition “Inside”. The spatial inversion gives rise to the mental representation of an underground world, buried and invisible, that visitors will have occasion to explore during the exhibition. Mikhail Karikis works with the human voice as with any material. In his videos, he studies the sound of the voice, its plastic possibilities but also its relationship to the collective identity in a societal perspective. For Sounds from Beneath, he worked with Uriel Orlow whose work focuses notably on the construction of stories and landscape as a place of memory and history.
