Bahn Troi

A young woman sees a motorcycle carrying a floral arrangement, reminiscent of the ceremonial ornament made for births or funerals. Stripping it of it’s flowers, she carries the object home to a house embedded in the hills near Hanoi, Vietnam. The wind arrives, carring the cries of a newborn baby.

Sound recordings made during the birth of a child in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
