Biography

Ulysse Gohin is a sound artist, visual artist, musician, and set designer. His multifaceted work consists of installations, visual artworks, performances, and concerts. He blends applied arts, kinetic art, sound art, and electroacoustics in a practice focused on listening, vibration, and energy conversions. The repurposing of found objects and electronic waste plays a central role in his practice.

Part of his work consists of sound and kinetic installations that generate subtle vibrations that breathe through time and space, inviting viewers to sharpen their perception. These installations are set up in unconventional locations, where they explore the acoustics while addressing questions of listening and space.

Another part consists of graphic and sculptural works that reveal invisible masses and phenomena related to sound. The forms produced and their shades of gray embody the very manifestation of sounds. These works, which are discreet or low in contrast, evoke a subtle way of listening.

Born in 2001, Ulysse Gohin lives and works in Strasbourg. After earning a DMA in Metalwork from ENSAAMA (Paris), he received a DNSEP in Art-Object from HEAR (Strasbourg) in 2024, followed by a DEM in electroacoustic composition from the Strasbourg Conservatory in 2026, where he also studied jazz piano. He has participated in various exhibitions, residencies, and concerts in Strasbourg, Stuttgart, Graz, Cologne, Amsterdam, Basel, Mulhouse, Reims, Clermont-Ferrand, Roubaix, Sélestat, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Plobsheim, Pontpoint, and Morez. He has notably collaborated with the Musica Festival and the Strasbourg-based ensembles HANATSUmiroir, l’Imaginaire, and Plurielles.

silences silences

no one moves

attention has sunk as if beneath the ground

trying to hold one’s breath to capture something else that is even more minute
