Velour
Peristalsis explores the sensory experience of the architecture of a car. The
exterior cover is influenced by vernacular protective car covers and in this
case serves to heighten the sensory realm inside. The audience can enter the
blacked out interior to be immersed in an experience of space, scent and
pre-recorded text and sound. The audio narrative draws links between car
interiors and our own bodily interiors to the sloshing rhythm of a carwash.
