The Cost of Entry is a Heartbeat

  • Salima Punjani

In Disabled artist Salima Punjani’s interactive installation The Cost of Entry is a Heartbeat, participants are given heart monitors as they enter the installation space five at a time. Their heartbeats are amplified through the sound system, becoming louder when they move closer together, growing in strength with increased proximity. Participants’ bodies are the tools for interaction, and the invitation from Punjani is to rest, and rest together.
