From Zero to One

From the kids’ room to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the bathroom, leaving home for a walk and coming back. A mother doesn’t get a minute’s peace. The hard work of motherhood is the subject of a sound research project by Piper Spray & Lena Tsibizova. 

The title references Korney Chukovsky’s book about children’s language, From Two to Five, but refers to the pre-linguistic stage of a child’s development. From Zero to One reproduces the extreme experience of closeness that is a result of non-verbal codes and the exchange of signals and desires within the materiality and density of sound.
