This video suggests a dialogue between two buildings : on one side, the empty wall of 212, rue du Faubourg, and on the other, the view from a work room. A busy neighbour, a woman, accentuates the passage of time and the sound relates the presence/existence of a world outside the frame.
The term "white noise" describes the technical application of a certain quality of background noise obtained by emitting constant energy to different sound frequencies. This effectively "cancels out" the frequencies and the equivalent of "silence" is produced. Les Bruits blancs centres on a dual polarity: the Parisian periphery - the perimiter boulevard of Paris - its urban landscape, and the flux of a water current - the St. Laurent seaway which circles Montreal.
