CELESTIAL BODY

2010
Live performance, 7 days
On & On, La Casa Encendida, Madrid

Fornieles spent 7 days in a suspended boat collecting messages from the audience, who were invited to write something they had always wanted to say but had never said. The note could be addressed to anyone or anything. Fornieles collected these written messages and translated them from Spanish into English. The installation included a sound piece of the artist’s father saying sibilant words in Spanish, his first language.

Sound design: Tom Halstead
