What would the body hear if every pore on the skin were an ear?
In collaboration Riina Samelselg, Anete Vihm and Greth-Ann Loog created installation project’s soundtrack uses recordings of the contact noise made by materials worn as clothing (textiles, leathers). The visuals to support the soundtrack were created by shadow play with the materials used in the experiment.
