Introduction

All without ever even stopping, is an experimental performance-lecture that stems from photography, sound art, performance, dance, installation and text.

The project starts from a series of both black and white and colour photographs shot in the period of 2022-2024 between London, North Yorkshire and the North East coastline. The images are documents tracing noise, movement and fleeting occurrences by capturing moments that are encoded with auditory data, certain movements or landscapes that our brains associate with sound. They document a diaristic approach to everyday life by capturing recognisable sounds and situations through photography, of the spaces I have inhabited. Although they are tied and associated with my own concept of memory, the images of youth and the mundane world, evoke the viewer's own experience.

By capturing ‘loud photos’, you encourage the image to catalyse further movement, by loading it with recognisable imagery, encoding the sensory data of the photograph from the state in which it was taken. The audience decodes these images in their own interpretation, an unconscious response to memory-based signifiers, which in turn stimulates people's own auditorial archives. Within this body of work, I am taking the ‘loud photographs’ captured and developing this concept to see what the images could sound like themselves, manually turning them into sound through the medium of music and experimental sound pieces.

Through researching a series of sound-based practices that take the digital data of an image and convert it into electronic sound I discovered multiple ways in which photography and music are intertwined. With each image you could push it across mediums, therefore rendering the subliminal message of the image through experimental sound. Subsequently, creating work that utilises the effects of multisensory experience, sight and hearing, in order to directly portray the ‘sound’ of images.
