Synopsis
I have filmed the vocalcords of four singers. The song is ”Kyrie” from a mass written by Thomás Luis de Victoria (1548-1611). The angelic song is juxtaposed by the fleshy image of the working vocal cords. I am interested in our concept of God, how it has created our ideas about moral and ethics, our relation to our bodies (especially the female). Shame and honor, the grotesque and the sublime.
