EXPORT Teil der Medieninstallation The Pain of Utopia. Der Schmerz der Utopie 52nd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale
di Venezia, Venedig 2007
The glottis, the vocal cords, are symbols of the voice
they
divide two phenomena
the voice inside, the breath
and the voice outside
the phenomenon of vocalization
of
speech formation. The echo of the hidden vocal cords
speaks throught the visible lips of the mouth. Turbulences of breath
formulate the expulsion of air
that opens the glottis
tears it apart
bursts through it Turbulences that cut
into the vocal cords
that score the banks of the vocal orifice 2007 © VALIE EXPORT
