A drop falls. Sound follows. What does the echoing of a tear sound like?
The installation (t)ears captures different feelings and sounds in big glass drops. After all, crying is not only a response to sadness or pain. People cry from immense happiness, relief, or simply due to something in their eye, like when cutting an onion. Now it’s up to you to listen. Tears of joy, sad tears, heartbreak or beauty,… come closer and hear the tear reverberate in its many forms.
(t)ears combines live sound with pre-recorded audio to create a series of soundscapes that vary depending on your position. Hence, you experience a unique composition via the decorative blown glass objects manufactured by Het Glazen Huis (Lommel, BE).
