Regret by Ida Sophia.

Over the month of June 2021, Ida Sophia observed a monumental installation of flowers decompose. The performance confronted Ida’s regret that she was absent from her Fathers’ side in his last month of life. Spending it here became her redemptive action. The resounding silence of the space was broken only by the rhythmic sound of Ida’s own heartbeat — a poignant reminder that the space we inhabit is simultaneously living and dying. In this collaboration I developed a custom microphone, worn by the artist to project her live heartbeat into the gallery space. This project also required technical design and supervision for the one month duration of the work.
