Soundwalk Collective is a contemporary sonic arts platform founded by artist Stephan Crasneanscki and producer Simone Merli. They collaborate with a diverse range of artists and musicians to develop site- and context-specific sound projects that explore conceptual, literary, and artistic themes. Their multidisciplinary approach has led to long-term creative partnerships with notable figures such as musician Patti Smith, late director Jean-Luc Godard, photographer Nan Goldin, choreographer Sasha Waltz, and actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg. Soundwalk Collective's practice highlights the narrative potential of sound across various mediums, including art installations, dance, music, and film. They treat sound as a tactile and poetic material, creating layered narratives that delve into themes of memory, time, love, and loss. Their original score for ‘All The Beauty and the Bloodshed’ (directed by Laura Poitras) won the Golden Lion at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. In October 2022, they launched ‘Evidence’, an exhibition with Patti Smith at Centre Pompidou in Paris, which offers an audio-visual journey inspired by French poets Arthur Rimbaud, Antonin Artaud, and René Daumal. Soundwalk Collective has performed and exhibited at prominent arts and music institutions, including Berghain, Centre Pompidou, CTM Festival, documenta, KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Manifesta, the Mobile Art Pavilion by Zaha Hadid, and the New Museum.
