recorders . devices . static . sound maps

mapping imaginary sounds

and decoding shadows and echoes

the stories once told

sound maps in the studio

recording silent walls

and taking notes of 

secret languages

signals and wires

listening devices

the people we wish we knew

but never did

 

go back to your dream . the hidden sea

go back to your dream

your not here

you did not disappear

stories of a strange day

imaginary communication

 paint, gouache, gesso on paper

standing at the edge of the dark sea

i prefer the sea

in an empty landscape

thoughts from inside the walls

thoughts from inside the walls

of an old apartment 

the pipes and papers walls

the telephone lines

 

I'm a ghost

(gouache ink paint on gelatin silver print)

the ghosts of things

when one closes their eyes

the color of eigengrau

a little like the sound

of the void or static of in-between

 haunting moments like a time-lapse

blurred memories

of things before things

this short beautiful video is

constant reference somewhere in the back of my mind

Orla's disguise . Radio tower

I have been working in the studio

on these pieces 

two fans on 

and listening to

Bryan Ferry

(Orla's disguise . gouache gesso ink gelatin silver print on paper )

and in the other room 

at the same time

radio nostalgia

is playing in the distance

( Radio tower . gouache gesso ink on paper )

also .. an old friend of mine 

sent this to me 

and I have watched it on

repeat several times in the last few days 

dancing club nights 

memories of this sound

puts me in a happy place )
