In the heart of the Rhône Delta, Verena Paravel undertook an immersive residency that transformed the way she listens to the world. By immersing herself in the Camargue wetlands alongside researchers, notably from the Tour du Valat, she captured vibrations, signals, and sounds imperceptible to the human ear.

The video offers a behind-the-scenes look at this research and explores how Verena Paravel created her film “Delta” in collaboration with scientists and local experts she met during her residency at LUMA Arles. Through scientific tools, shifting landscapes, and acts of listening, she traces the creative process behind a work that reimagines our relationship with the environment, inviting us to perceive
the Camargue in a new light and to enter a world of sound we never suspected existed.
