The human boy is currently in Boston and he saw this interesting audio installation by Su-Mei Tse in collaboration with Jean-Lou Majerus entitled Sound for Insomniacs, 2007. For Tse, photographs alone are not enough to capture a cat's unique personality. Here, she presents large close-up portraits of five different cats, each with expressive presence similar to traditional painted portraits, along with recordings of each cat purring. The artist invites viewers to take a seat and listen with a headphone of each cat's purring sound while gazing into their individual portrait, suggesting that insomnia sufferers may fall asleep to the sound of the soothing purrs. #isabellastewartgardnermuseum #listenhere #theartofsound #sumeitse #soundforinsomniacs #catpurr #soundinstallation #audioart #catportraits #catlover #soundofcats #catpersonality #visitBoston #bostonmuseum #museumhopping #comebackhuman #artdiary #traveldiary #frankygoestoBoston #catstagram #catsdaily #artwork #isabellastewartgardner #catlovers #catlady #cat_of_instagram #travellingcats #artgram (at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum)
