Onomatopoetics

Video, colour, sound, 0'30'' (loop), 2005

Video of different people emitting very personal guttural expressions and onomatopoeias. To anyone unfamiliar with the specific social- or cultural sphere of the protagonists, the decontextualised sounds lose their meaning, become absurd and comical. Yet, a strange melody seems to appear.
