As if constantly transferring visual categories to sound art and sonic categories to visual art, Bells Angels visualize music and give music to images. […] They start from clusters of noise—human, animal, terrestrial; sonic, visual, and informational noise. They draw and record echoes, then turn them into landscapes.
— Tristan Garcia
The Bells Angels is a Paris-based duo, composed of Julien Sirjacq and Simon Bernheim. Julien Sirjacq has been teaching at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris since 2015 and heads the Print/Edition department. Simon Bernheim, an artist and musician, is a member and founder of the group 10LEC6.
The duo explores the boundaries between sound, image, and object, oscillating between installation, performance, and publication. Their work weaves unexpected narratives in which each medium extends the other, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in hybrid sensory experiences.
The duo’s works have been presented in France and internationally, notably at the Musée des Moulages and Hôpital Saint-Louis in 2023, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2022, and the Houston Center for Photography in 2019.
