THE HUMAN VOICE, 1966
VIDEO, 90 MIN
Based on Jean Cocteau’s one-character play and starring Ingrid
Bergman, this film presents a woman pleading with her ex-lover
over the phone in a conversation constantly interrupted by a bad
connection. The voice on the other end of the line, however, remains
inaudible throughout, leaving the woman to appear as if she is
conversing with herself.

The piece, Living Symphonies, is a composition that reflects and responds to the very ecosystem of the wood where it is played, from the photosynthesis of the trees, to a spider weaving its web and the flitting of a butterfly.
Through 24 speakers installed in different levels among the roots and canopy of the trees, ramblers stumbling upon this small patch of wood will encounter a haunting cacophony of musical sounds dictated by the interactions and movements of the ecosystem they stand in.”
