Raheleh Filsoofi’s practice addresses the customs that mediate everyday experiences through research, education, communitycentred work and performance. The installation Only Sound Remains (2014) comprising ceramic vessels, sounds and video, seeks to give physical form to sonic memories. Obscure, almost inaudible audio emanates from within the vessels, only becoming fully audible when one places their ear to a lifted lid. The installation offers a window into the sights and sounds imprinted on the artist during her childhood in Iran—a bazaar, praying, marching, an explosion, a woman telling a story.
