Description

Wales' songs are so spaced out to hear that what sounds like a gigantic, drawn-out and endless moan is perhaps only one consonant to them. Similarly, a bird with a high-pitched and agitated sing may perceive us as we perceive the whales. It's difficult to perceive each other with one's constant time.

Between the limits of document and fiction, the project creates a semi-fictional narrative which simulates an extraterrestrial creature with different brain processing system and unique facial organizations. Human audiences can only try to understand what it hears with their limited cognition.
