Pure Sound
Amid the dense flow of performances, noise, and conversation, Pure Sound invites you to pause. To slow down. To put on the headphones and listen — not to music, not to voices, but to a heartbeat. What you hear are recorded pulses of those here before you — traces of their presence, quiet and intimate. The work doesn’t ask for words. It’s about listening — with your body, with attention. Each heartbeat has been turned into sound. To join this growing archive of rhythms, simply place your finger on the sensor. Your heart will be heard, too.
