After The rain, 15th Gwangju Biennale, South Korea 2024

Immerse yourself in Guillaume Rousere’s latest installation, "After the Rain," presented at the Qatar Pavilion in the Gwangju Biennale 2024. This evocative piece explores the profound impact of rain on Qatar’s arid desert landscapes, drawing on years of meticulous research and observation.
About the Installation: "After the Rain" captures the ephemeral beauty and transformative power of rain in the desert, featuring a rich ambisonic soundscape recorded during rare desert rainstorms. The installation invites viewers to experience the delicate balance between nature and human existence through a sensory journey that combines sound, sight, and touch.
Key elements of the installation include:
Ambisonic Soundscape: A 39-minute audio recording from Rawdat Al Nu’man oasis, capturing the essence of desert life post-rain.
Water Drop Mechanism: A peaceful system that creates ripples on a reflective water surface, illuminated by light to enhance the contemplative experience.
Visuals: Fragments of broken ceramics, a visible irrigation system, and a metal tank receptacle that highlight the Anthropocene aspect of water usage.
Guillaume Rousere’s work in "After the Rain" not only emphasizes the environmental significance of water but also connects viewers to Qatar’s landscape and its rich cultural heritage. The installation evokes a meditative experience, encouraging reflection on unity, resilience, and our relationship with nature.
