As if they were constantly transposing visual categories to the sound arts, and sound categories to the visual arts, the Bells Angels imagine the music and "musicate" the image. [...] They start with clusters of noise, human, animal, terrestrial noise, sound, visual and information noise. They draw and record echoes, then they make landscapes out of them.
— Tristan Garcia 2020
The Bells Angels explore the boundaries between sound, image, and object, moving fluidly between installation, performance, and publication. Their projects weave unexpected narratives in which each medium extends the other, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in hybrid sensory experiences.
Sounds, installations, books, workshops, and visual identities coexist within a single living editorial system: each project becomes a conversation between space and object, between temporality and memory.
The Bells Angels, a duo formed by Julien Sirjacq (1974) and Simon Bernheim (1975), develop their projects from Paris. Julien Sirjacq has taught at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2015 and is head of the print/publishing department. Simon Bernheim, artist and musician, is a member and founder of the group 10LEC6.
