‘Anri Sala: Contes de sons qui se prennent pour un autre’ is a vinyl record, co-published with n.b.k. (Neuer Berliner Kunstverein.)

This recording is inspired by surface noise: “I wanted to compose a soundtrack that mostly sounds, when played on the vinyl, like one is only listening to the physical attributes of the medium itself […] little by little [it] will develop to suggest a composition, a rhythm, a journey, perhaps a tale.”

Anri Sala was born in 1974 in Tirana / Albania, he lives and works in Berlin.

His oeuvre explores the relationships between music and literature, architecture and film, interleaving qualities of different media in both complex and intuitive ways to produce works in which one medium takes on the qualities of another.

Sala has taken part in many group exhibitions and biennials, including the Havana Biennial (2015); Sharjah Biennial (2013); Gwangju Biennale (2012); Documenta 13 (2012); São Paulo Biennial (2010); Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2007); Berlin Biennale (2006). In 2013, Anri Sala represented France in the Venice Biennale with his exhibition ‘Ravel Ravel Unravel’.

Vinyl record, 22:20 min. Also features a text by Brian Kane.
