Nightmare

In this project, we wanted to explore the narrative nature of the sounds of different parts of the ​body.

Firstly, we obtained the initial material by recording and processing the sounds emitted by our ​own bodies and those of our friends. We then physically obtained a continuous image of sound ​vibrations and reconstructed these sounds by recombining them into a narrative story. We ​used reflective material and played the processed sound track through a loudspeaker, using ​the sound vibrations to make the material shake, resulting in an image on paper.

This story describes the internal sounds of a person in the depths of a nightmare. The whole ​process from falling asleep to feeling uneasy, the interplay of different sounds and finally ​waking up.
