VOZ L'INTERNA (2014)
Audio Sculpture / Performance
Voz l'interna
Performance / Composition – 8 minutes
A meditation on voice, memory, and embodied identity, Voz l’interna (a poetic conflation of “vocal lantern” in Spanish) is an intimate sound art performance where the body becomes both vessel and archive. Across eight minutes, I slowly unravel an eight-meter-long black cloth that binds my naked form, entwined in a custom-built speaker harness. This sculptural armor transmits a visceral sonic collage—fragments of breath, laughter, fatigue, moans, whispered confessions—drawn from recordings of my own private thresholds.
The piece unfolds as a ritual exorcism. As the sounds swell and layer into a dense, indistinguishable mass—approaching white noise—I begin to dismantle the speaker harness, placing each unit on the floor. This gesture of release suggests a life cycle fulfilled, an identity disassembled, leaving behind echoes like a soul departing the body.
Voz l’interna navigates the terrain of constructed selfhood through ritual, repetition, and sonic intimacy. It seeks to confront the weight of internalized narratives and to sonify the shedding of self—revealing how memory, identity, and voice intertwine in our corporeal archives.
