The title outbreaks come from the mental illness “schizophrenic outbreaks”. This disease is characterized, among other things, by auditory and visual hallucinations. Still, there are endless other “small” symptoms, such as confusion and duplicity, when it comes to an understanding one’s identity. In my work, | I deal with the identity of a confused individual. The audio is made up of a series of distorted whispers in order to reflect the auditory hallucinations that this type of patient suffers.
