(t)ears

The installation (t)ears captures different feelings and sound in large glass drops. After all, crying is not just a reaction to sadness or pain. People cry from immense happiness, relief or simply because something is stinging their eye, like when cutting an onion.

Now it is 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 distort according to your position. In this way, you experience a unique composition through the acoustic chambers made of blown glass.
