    What's wrong with your voice?
    Yamamoto, Makiko ( 2012)
    The research component of my project investigates voice as a vehicle of meaning and voice as an aesthetic material but also an understanding of voice as an object, as a lever of thought. The main impetus of the paper is how the voice operates after death and the consideration of reattaching my disembodied voice to my dead body in the future event. The works of John Cage, Samuel Beckett, On Kawara and Mutlu Çerkez (among others) inform my current investigations into the position of voice. Situating the voice as a material within a sculpture and spatial practice, my project investigates the voice as it stands between body and language, between subject and other: afterall it is the sound of the voice that will remain as a trace and resonate our absence.
