about
Sculptor and sound artist, the work of Méryll Ampe swings between both practices. After studying wood sculpture at the Ecole Boulle (Paris), Méryll leads a visual and sound creation at the Beaux-Arts School of Paris-Cergy. During the studies, Méryll Ampe has attended several sound artists such as Robin Meier in Paris and Manuel Rocha Irturbide in Mexico City. As sound and visual artist, Méryll Ampe develops artworks through field recordings, electronic. Ampe conceives sound as a medium to be sculpted in real time and improvises from analog sources (oscillos, filters, drum machine). Playing with the interweaving of volumes, perspectives and dynamics, Méryll creates sharp and very raw materials. Méryll Ampe also likes to skirt the limits of sound and dig into its flesh with a permanent interest for roughness and porosity. In live performances, Ampe engages instinctively and radically, calling upon the listening of the place and the body that serves as a barometer to weave massive sound states that unfold, intersect, mix or decompose. The result is thunderous bursts of abstract noise and rhythmic saturations. Méryll Ampe work is plurial. Méryll has been working with artists, musicians, choreographers and video artists such as Collectif COAX, Collectif Supernova, Christian Rizzo, Mélanie Perrier, Fernando Vilchez, Elsa Brès, Boris Achour, Gwenola Wagon et Stéphane Dégoutin. Méryll Ampe work has been shown internationally in institutions and festivals such as : Les Instants
