About

The Body Event is a sound work for computer and voice made by David Toop in collaboration with John Latham in 2004. The resultant installation is made up entirely from Latham's speech, vocal sounds, pauses, breathing, actions, room sounds, and ambient sounds from the street, extracted from an interview with the artist in which he describes his theory of event structure and time-base. The fragments of speech and paralinguistic noise are configured according to certain principles of Latham's Theory and will be extruded through the house in the same way that Latham extruded books through glass in his work. The Body Event was originally presented during Latham's 2005 exhibition ‘God is Great' at Lisson Gallery, London. It will be reconfigured into a spatialised version for installation at Latham's home, Flat Time House, in Peckham.
