SOUND BLEEDS, 2024
mixed-media installation / 16mm film, 16mm film projectors, 16mm transferred to HD video, sound
Installation view at Roman Susan, Chicago, IL, USA
An insistent weight encroached the shadows of my uterus, forcing me through medical thresholds and normative expectations. With 16mm film, digital video, and sound, I suture the threads of control over what feels beyond reach: the sovereignty of the body and a digital form of self. Marking one year since my surgery, SOUND BLEEDS stitches together light and shadow, pulse and silence, conjuring a body unbound by flesh alone. Through the manipulation of medical film and optical sound, this work explores the complex dialogues of self—a merging of the physical and digital, reclaiming agency and embracing multiplicity.
The solo exhibition at Roman Susan concluded on the winter solstice of 2024 with a live performance by Haruhi Kobayashi.
