It has only been around the last thirty years that sound, not in its conventional musical form, but as an artistic material, had been seen as an artistic pratice in its own right. TBG is one of those artists who very naturally added this material to his palette. A multimedia artist in the widest sense of the word, Thierry chooses no one medium over another, but picks according to its functional relevance in the given situation, that is to say according to the physical place and the public present in that space. His work can thus be seen as a result of the situation. An effort of adaptation is required by the public who are to be interviewed, even provoked, their senses being sollicited at times almost violently. Neither the work nor the spectators can content themselves here with being passive. The often minimal and very radical installation is existence in the simplest sense of the word. Mixing up his mediums in such a manner, TBG has finally succeeded in confusing the genres, the exhibition has to be comprehended in a new way almost as a concert. A concert of mediums and meanings, the work is an ensemble that becomes a musical group, in the present case, it would be more like a heavy metal group, that makes you react if not physically, then at least mentally.
