Inner Dawn


I turn my body inside out to create a portal for inner listening.

2022

A heart monitor connects my pulse to animate a spotlight that illuminates my body. A contact microphone turns the sound of my breath into a sonic landscape.

Exploring entrainment – the phenomenon by which biological rhythms like the heartbeat and breath gradually fall into sync – I invite viewers to tune into their bodies with me.

Designed to be screened at large-scale in busy public spaces, my pulse will illuminate busy urban junctions with an organic, rhythmic glow.
