The exhibition “Résonances” was created as part of the Festival’s Residency Programme, bringing together four artists: Peggy Herbeau, Christophe Fillieule (photography), Chrysanthos Antoniou, and Savvas Karantzias (composition).
The exhibition presents a journey to Tallinn undertaken by a composer with a disability, who created a new musical work for one of the world’s most renowned choirs. “Résonances” captures this encounter and explores disability through sound and image. Each photograph is accompanied by an original musical composition. QR codes placed alongside each work allow visitors to listen to these creations during their visit. Visitors are kindly invited to bring their own headphones.

An exhibition about disability and sensory subjectivity,
Resonances offers a transdisciplinary artistic experience, bridging photography and musical composition. It becomes a space of immersive exploration that sparks imagination, introspection, and a sense of shared experience.
At the heart of this project is Greek composer Savvas Karantzias, who lives with a disability. He serves as the catalyst for an aesthetic experience:
How can disability be represented without fixing, reducing, or distorting it?
How can an alternative way of being in the world be translated through shared artistic and sensory experience, rather than from a clinical or documentary perspective rooted in able-bodied viewpoints?
Immersion: Giving the Works a New Dimension
Each photograph is paired with an original sound piece. Together, they form a “sono-visualization”—a hybrid object enabling the simultaneous experience of image and sound. The viewer’s experience is instantly enriched: the image is enhanced, expanded, or transformed by sound—or conversely, sound perception is altered by the visual.
There is vast diversity in how we relate to our senses. Resonances aims to give free rein to this diversity of perception.
These two dimensions create a feeling of immersion within the works: musical extension of the visual experience, heightened detail perception, animation of still images, contradiction, illumination, obscuring, the impression of movement…
Resonances invites imagination and offers a new, alternative dimension to the initial interpretation of the works. It encourages us to reflect on perception when it is altered, enriched, transformed, or hindered—without ever diminishing the artistic experience.
