Details | |
| The "anechoic effect" of this installation is formed from hundreds of bricks of compressed newspaper configured in the shape of the buttress roots of a Morton Bay Fig. The listener is encased in a ziggurat of language rendered in print, in which the noises of life are trapped and compressed. | |
