A site-specific surround-sound installation
in collaboration with Creative Routes members

The De-normalize cell has been specially created for Bonkersfest 2008 to address people's perceptions and assumptions about mental health. Visitors entered the cell and experienced a series of sensory-audio reflective vibrations while listening to a 3D sound and vocal composition.

The Denormalize cell the human jukebox

The Human Rights Jukebox

Looking at the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and focusing on how it may be interpreted in everyday life, Suarez and local residents created sound and text works through discussions, interviews and music sessions.

This march event brought the jukebox to the London streets of Camberwell and Peckham in June 2007 as part of Camberwell Arts festival.

Participants, local residents and artists joined the march to express their views on human rights.
