A sound and movement performance that explores the shared act of crying through listening and language. Like carpet, the performance’s sonic ground is soft and coarse, layered, densely woven and spread. This ritual creates and alters bodily states within and between people. It generates a connective field, through an uncanny, rigorous meditation.

Cry Carpet was also shown as an audio piece at the Tokyo Art Book Fair 2020.
