Providence Pain Project
Providence, Rhode Island
These audio clips were recorded at six different locations in Providence Rhode Island after prompting people with a simple question. "Can you tell me something that is or has been painful for you"?
This project was performed in a gallery setting at the Rhode Island School of Design. six speakers were set up around the space and the audio was played on loop.
Play them one at a time or all at once.
