Time after ...Sometimes (2013)
Installation of images, Dolby surround sound

I created a language from everyday household items, linking each sound of the English language to a corresponding object in an associative manner. Using this modern set of hieroglyphics, I composed still-life arrangements that could be read literally as texts, rather than through the allegoric meanings typical of 17th-century still lifes. The resulting photographs were presented in a solo show at Ellen de Bruijne Projects, accompanied by a Dolby surround sound installation. A voice guided viewers from image to image, helping them decipher the rebuses and revealing the connections between objects and their assigned phonemes, forming fragments of text that evoke memories of melodies from our past.
