Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia
2008
video performance, glass shelf, mini component

Video documentation showing a system causing its own destruction. A mini-component placed on a glass shelf, plays the sound to request silence (sshhh). The sound causes the ledge to resonate and eventually break, the destruction of the entire system achieves the silence requested at first.
