Each respiration of the performer, whose body remains confined within a liquid substance for 3 hours, is recorded by a pulsometer attached to the performer\u2019s ankle. The resulting pulsograph is processed by a computer connected to a machine that transforms the biological rhythm of the performer\u2019s heart into liquid metallic drops\u2013one drop for heartbeat. The vision of the falling drops is enlarged by an oversize magnifying glass, and its dropping sound amplified by woofers. The alterations in the inner rhythm of the body as the performer endures the prolonged submersion define the speed of the drops, and the nature of the sound that inundates the room.\n \nThe strength of the performer is challenged by remaining inside the substance while breathing through a thin tube ; the accumulation of drops gives tangible form to the time that the performer remains suspended. Formally, the installation is composed of 2 main elements: a human-size glass water tank filled with a liquid substance in which the performer is submerged, and a devised machine that transforms the performer\u2019s pulse into liquid metallic drops.

The duration of the performance is 3 hours, and it could be enacted several times. *The days the performance is not happening, a video recording of the submerged body will be projected onto the water inside the tank, activating the machine.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":"Pulse","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/429394846","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":9,"names":"Sabrina","surname":"Merayo Nu\u00f1ez","email":"sabrina@merayonuniez.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"28008378","address":"272 E 7th street apt 4B","city":"NEW YORK","nacionality":"Argentina","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1980-12-18T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1980-12-18T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+16462661087 \/\/ +17652379437","web":"www.merayonuniez.com  \/\/  www.veronicapena.com"}
