Les Archives du Cœur
“Les Archives du Cœur” permanently houses recordings of the heartbeats of people throughout the world. Christian Boltanski has been recording these heartbeats since 2008.
Les Archives du Cœur is a testament to the recordees’ existence.
The recordings may be listened to by visitors. It is also possible to record your own heart beat here.
