HAYLEY BARKER

Autoethno-Medisecretarial, 2021

00:00 / 22:44

        Listen to the full audio here

​

132cm h x 47cm w x 62 d metal filing cabinet, speaker playing 22:43 minute audio.

​

Sound installation developed from introspective analysis of secretarial behaviours during my mother's illness at the start of 2020. Audio is taken from a hospital letter, put through a text to speech software. The deteriorating audio comes from the process of recording and re-recording audio from within the filing cabinet itself to collect the metallic echoes in order to present the destruction of voice and emphasis of the synthetic.

Exhibited at 'Plans-Afoot' (2021), Leadworks, Plymouth, UK.
