Sound diary No.6 - 20111108

Recently, my mon's physical condition is coming rapidly worse and worse. Sometimes it's really hurt to listen to her weak breathing and small volumes speaking like whispering. Beyond the weak voice, i just feel strong spirits behind. Although i know maybe we are closing the moment to face her death, these sounds of dying still make me feel so afraid. Because it's really too harsh to be true.

What an interesting listening experience happened this evening between a cat and my friend. This friend of mine really likes cats. She likes to play with cats. But she use an interesting way to play with the cat: Imitation the sounds of cat. And as the cat seems cannot differ it's a kind of sound from a cat or from a human-being. So they seems like to be the same species in some alternative way: from listening experience!

Soundscape No.1: Public fears in the private spaces

Public fears in the private spaces by teddysteve


Artist Statetment

The work "Public fears in the private spaces" i made from recording the private experience in my dailylife. For taking showers and going pees in my daily life, these are quite normal but individual privacy experieces.

Nowadays, in the digital age, we have easily gotten a virtual identification in the reality world, even if we can pretend to be anyone in this virtual world, we still have to face to our isolate real world. We even do not know ourselves.

From this work idea, i just want to expose the reality behind the sounds in our daily life with nature habits -- the water noises by cleaning behaviors. I hope listening the water nooises may awake some parts of our awareness to realize: the relationship between each other in the real world is quite unique and valuable. Maybe the real fear is not in the publics, always behind in our private spaces.
