at Tate Exchange,Tate Modern, 2019

This installation connects image, object, sound and technology to explore how different forms of communication alter our physical experience of language.

 

A female and male voice read the nonsensical Lorem Ipsum text in competition with one another and into separate ears. A distorted human face watches them awkwardly, the viewer is trapped in-between sound, object and image. A feeling of discomfort and absurdity is created, and raises questions about the gender hierarchy and binaries enforced by language.
