‘Climb through the holes in my brain to get to my soulluos, I promise to wake up soon’ is a sound installation/performance by Belfast based artist Helena Hamilton. Through the use of repetitive word and the progressive image Helena explored the idea of self and the deterioration of the individual within this notion - repetition, uncanny over interpretation and unrealistic expectation being the foundation of her concept.
