Sound is proposed here as both a documentary and creative act, alternative from, or analogous to the photograph, one that spatially and temporally displaces the act of display. It is, however, testing another function or possibility, which is to show how an object might ‘experience’ the processes of display, an inversion of the documentary act to that of 'siding' with the subject represented.
These are, in some cases, shortened versions of longer soundworks.
