I/Æ/EI/EYE

The performance I/Æ/EI is a linguistic voice performance where one person would for about 20 minutes repeat I (in English), Æ (in Icelandic) and EI (in German). All of them sound the same but have different meanings. The person would also express various emotions and emphasis through her voice and her body language.

Gjörningurinn I/Æ/EI er málfræðilegur raddgjörningur þar sem ein manneskja endurtók í um það bil 20 mínútur hljóðið/orðin I (á ensku), Æ (á íslensku) og EI (á þýsku). Öll hljóma þau eins en hafa ólíkar merkingar. Manneskjan tjáði einnig mismunandi tilfinningar og lagði ólíkar áherslur með raddbeitingunni og líkamstjáningunni.
