[Édgar Guzmán: Autorretrato (sketch)]

Autorretrato — Installed Sound Composition

Improvisation-based composition turned sound installation, 2012.

To face the sound of our ghosts. To (re-)create our imaginary self beyond the Other’s image. To trace our own image as we see it or as we want it to be seen.

[Édgar Guzmán]
