Thesis: Where Words Fall Silent(Embodiment of nonverbal communication)
When words fall short, the body speaks, carrying concepts beyond language and revealing what cannot be described but can always be felt.
You enter the space passing by a door frame which is shorter than normal door, you have to bow and enter the space with respect. in the space there are multiple wearable objects to interact with. Below I guide you in how to use them.
1. The objects need to be activated by more than one person so if you see someone around, please make a group. A group of three is ideal.
2. There are three roles: Headpiece wearer, Sound-maker and Witness.
3. One person wears the metal headpiece. Another person selects different sound-making tools (wearable objects) to make a variety of sounds on the headpiece. This person is free to choose their tool/s. A third person is the witness.
4. After you experience this together you can rotate your roles.
5. If there is no one around you can do it by yourself.
6. Visitors are also free to simply watch people interact without active participation in any of the roles.
