Bruit de Fond - Background Noise

A collection of images and photographs conceptualized and elaborated around what links sonic elements to visual ones. This publication exhibits and questions different levels of interpretation between these two media.

How can one photograph noise? Silence?
Can we hear with our eyes and see with our ears?
Is noise inevitably associated to movement and silence to inactivity?
Why is noise a problem?

Bruit de Fond presents pictures that come out of the direct collaboration between noise and photography, taken instinctively and randomly. Pictures of places, moments or people where the notion of noise is perceptible instantly.

Contributors include Thobias Fäldt, Seth Fluker, Jesper Ulvelius, Peter Sutherland, Sarah Pickering, Ola Rindal, Pierre Le Hors, Coley Brown, Nicholas Gottlund, Mårten Lange and Grant Willing.
