Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Manifesta 15 Barcelona will be taking place in Barcelona and 11 surrounding metropolitan cities

Félix Blume, FR

Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer who utilises sound as a fundamental material across a variety of mediums, including sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His creative process often involves collaboration, engaging with communities and using public spaces as the backdrop for his explorations and presentations. Blume's practice extends beyond conventional listening, aiming to cultivate awareness of the imperceptible and facilitate encounters with others through sound. He incorporates a diverse array of sounds from different beings and species, ranging from the hum of a bee to the footsteps of a turtle and the chirping of a cricket, alongside human dialogues within both natural and urban environments. With a keen interest in myths and their contemporary interpretations, Blume explores the narratives that voices convey beyond mere words. His sound compositions have been aired on radio stations worldwide, and he has showcased his work at various international festivals and exhibitions.
