Originaly trained as a bio-eco-geographer, Anne Versailles is today a walker, geopoet and sound artist. In her backpack, there are always maps, a notebook, her microphones and a camera. She walks, crosses territories, gleaning words, images and sounds from them. Then she composes landscapes. She works on the border between text, image and sound. Based in Brussels, Anne publishes, creates multimedia poems, performs, leads workshops.
