Reading orientation
The speaker is dead, enclosed in a black body bag, yet continues addressing the people outside it. The urgent request is to open the mouth so that a declaration of love can escape. The piece makes the physical barrier to speech part of its form. Source 2
Its compressed address gives little distance between bodily damage and the wish to be heard. The voice can be read alongside The Hollow’s unrecognised dead narrator, while preserving the different scale and situation of each work. Neither fictional speech is a substitute for an independently documented death. Source 2
