About
During an excavation, a rock formation in the shape of the buccal cavity is found. Tremors in the form of punctuations, utterances, whispers, mumbles, mutterings, stutters and incoherent narrations pulse through its surfaces. Riddled with what seem to be hysterical-historical narrations, the architectonics of the mouth becomes a chamber for entangled sounding and listening.
The densely packed collections of vocal fragments in the object on view, however, are heard only when they come in contact with a listening body. Straining to be ‘heard’, the abject of the archive leaks out of the oral/ aural objects—each discrete listen forming microsites of psychical, biopolitical and geohistorical events and encounters.
