Two individuals, a man and a woman, sings two lullabies on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. Their vocals have been edited out so that only their respiration remains throughout the recording. This is pointing to those mechanisms of our bodies that are vital for us to make sense to others when communicating and expressing ourselves, but mechanism we rarely give any notice. They are those mechanisms that point towards the underlying absence of our presence.
