This publication looks back on the four acts of the project Bruit Originaire that Charlotte Pringuey Cessac has been developing since 2013. "The quest for a Bruit originaire began in Nice in 2013, on the Colline du Château, when a team of archaeologists uncovered a grave containing bones – first thought to date from Antiquity since it was covered with tegulae used at the time – which turned out to belong to the medieval period. Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac « out to transcribe the memory of this twelfth-century individual ». From this desire to recall the memory of ancient times, of this intimacy to be restored from now-inert matter, she would, six years later, deploy simultaneously in two places a series of gestures and collaborations that refer back to the sources of humanity. At the Musée de préhistoire Terra Amata and at the Musée d’art moderne et d’art contemporain (Mamac), in Nice, she uses materials drawn from the traditional art of fire – glass, ceramics, charcoal – and deploys her intuition, combining scientific methods with creative imagination. Working alongside researchers and craftspeople of matter, Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac brings together our understanding of the world and our way of being in it. These two approaches nevertheless share a common effect: making the invisible visible, drawing on rigorous methodology and deep reflection before the gesture is made."
