Muffled

Muffled / (2019) installation / 6-channel sound, silicone / 76 x 129 x 129 cm 

About / Muffled reproduces a biopsy of the artist’s own skin, magnified 2000 times from its original size. The artist’s voice bursts from within, vibrating from inside the mass from which spoken words emerge, albeit muffled.
