I collected all the notifications from my leasing company, mail and delivery notes, neighbor notes, etc during the 5 years+ that I lived in that apartment. They conformed this living collage that slowly kept growing on the back of my front door.

Pauses in spoken language were never silent but mute. These pauses contain all the ambient sounds that immerse diction within a soundscape. On the other hand, written language pauses have names but do not sound.
How does an ellipsis sound?
How do we pronounce a word made of punctuations marks?
In Holes of Speech, I recorded the sound of my voice reading a poem of Julio Cortázar in a tunnel of Golden Gate Park. Afterwards, I listened to the sounds in-between words, the pauses, the punctuation marks. These silences contain sounds yet we never grasp them.
For that, I made a composition of those sounds in-between my voice.
This sound installation contains punctuation marks sounded and augmented, distributed to conform new words.
