F.13 & Just Listening
Vinko Globokar's F.13 is about yawning - bâiller, in French.
Pauline Oliveros' Just Listening is about listening to what is happening around.
In our daily lives, yawning is a very common, unintentional and often overlooked gesture, usually associated with tiredness or boredom. However, it can also be seen as a momentary and unique state of being, and therefore of listening. Have you ever noticed what happens to your ears when you yawn? The ear canals slightly compress as the jaw opens to its limit, resulting in a filtering effect - something similar to a high-pass filter. To record what and how I listen to while yawning, for the last 14 months I have been working on my A Yawning Diary, which you can see on display here.
If reading about yawning makes you yawn, feel free to write down what, when, or how you listen to while yawning in your own yawning diary.
