Su-Mei Tse (b. 1973) in collaboration with Jean-Lou Majerus
Sound for Insomniacs, 2007
5 Lambda digital prints on semi-glossy photo paper, two stools with integrated MP3 players, screens, and headphones.
For Su-Mei Tse, photographs alone are not enough to capture a cat’s unique personality. Here she presents large close-ups of five different cats, each with an expressive presence similar to traditional painted portraits, along with recordings of each cat purring.
Because every cat’s purr is unique but they all sooth, relax and may act as natural sleeping pills. Works for me, anytime!
