Sensitive representations of silence in the city
Abstract
If the city is the place of noise by excellence, silence sometimes occurs without being expected to do so. If it cannot only be defined by a lack of sounds, what are the elements of silence in the city? What are the sensitive representations of silence in cities? What are the imaginations linked to the city’s silence? What are the visual elements encountered in the city implying a sense of silence? Through cinematographic excerpts, the memory tries to decorate the imaginations related to urban silence.
