Heirloom
Project Description:
Sight of Sound transforms Björk’s “Heirloom” into a riso-printed animation that explores memory, inheritance, and the dreamlike transmission of culture across generations. Inspired by the song’s layered soundscape and themes of ancestral connection, the project draws on both Thai and Chinese perspectives to visualize how dreams, spirits, and emotions can carry meaning from the past into the present. The tactile imperfections of risograph printing — including slight misregistration and unpredictable texture — become part of the work itself, reinforcing the feeling of a recurring dream being passed down and reinterpreted over time.
