Communication

Nazemi, Kate

A prototype for an installation titled Communication aims to talk about the gap between internal and external language by engaging you in interactions where you can wade through language by pulling out the contents found in a series of larger than life-size heads. The action of pulling (a metaphor for forcefully externalizing internal content) on materials (texture signifies tone of internal content) stimulates the externalization of language.
