Melting Voice (2018-): A Response to the Her Noise Archive
Imaginary sound/language research
ice, water, text, ink, paper, glass, marbles


Melting Voice is an experiment and onging research exploring the happening in our dialogue. Inspired by the unreadable messages sent from my grandmother, after her death the decontextualised texts stored on my cellphone becomes mystery, meaning deconstructs and regenerates itself through time, the space we create for imagination grows and the dynamic relationship interchanging between the giver and the receiver. We engage in the moment ice melts and freezes again and again — witness the fading voice, the fading memories, they become movable existence, transcend time and space.
