In this audiovisual presentation, the exhibition's original soundscape has been reintegrated with its source videos. During the physical installation, this audio environment played through speakers hidden behind polymer sheeting at the room's corners, enveloping the space and providing context for the central work: a 37-page poem nailed along the entire wall perimeter. The soundscape—referred to as The World within the exhibition context—created a complex, layered experience combining noise tracks, archival recordings, military communications, music, water sounds, and the artist's voice(s) addressing both themselves and visitors through fragmented personal comments and readings from source texts, immersing the visitor within an intentionally disjointed, schizophrenic and psychotic sonic environment evoked. Following the exhibition's closure, this video work was assembled to provide an audiovisual rendering of the poem's original presentation context, preserving the experience for future audiences now that the physical installation has been dismantled and can no longer be directly accessed.
