Soundwalk created the original soundscape for the Chanel Mobile Art pavilion featuring contemporary artists from around the globe. We hear the following soundscape excerpt while entering and exploring the reflective space and illuminated sculpture of Lee Bul; the installation was meant to mirror the interior life and elusive memories of the legendary M. Coco Chanel.
Lee Bul, considered the most prolific Korean contemporary artist of her generation, is renowned for her innovative aesthetics. Over the past two decades, Bul has shaped contemporary art globally with a provocative intellect that is nothing short of alluring.
