Simon eats a lemon

However - I am not hearing anything when I watch this slideshow of you. Perhaps it should be watched in silence - but this still continues to make me feel uncomfortable! Perhaps this is the point???? So I was wondering if there was anything that you felt should be its companion-sound / text - whether something apparent comes to mind whilst you are viewing it - a retrospective sound - or something that you remember from the time that the photographs were taken? Would be good to hear from you. Hope all is well... Ann Hamilton

The feeling of acid on my teeth, eating into them. Like licking battery ends. Like sandpaper on glass. Sharp. It would be like white noise. High pitched feedback. Wind into a microphone.
