Invisible Theatre
Bacteria, dead wood, green algae, glass, etc.
![]()
In the epidemic a silence grew; it grew, and hung stiff and unbearably heavy in the air. Nevertheless, there were still voices hiding in this misty silence, and I picked up and presented two of them in my sound installation Invisible Theater. Jade stones are treasured; tree branches are everywhere yet of little value. The jade sings a carol of stillness: an infant heart beats inside it; the branch whispers a lament of decay, as if bacteria have set a world ablaze. As I hope to make apparent through my art, these sounds are sounds of life — they are everywhere should we choose to listen to them.
