ANATOMS SONORES
During the Cold War in the Soviet Union, bootleg records pressed on discarded X-rays from hospitals were circulating illegally under the name “bones records” or “music on ribs” as an act of cultural resistance. They contained music from the West, in particular rock ‘n’ roll and jazz, but also Russian folk tunes, considered by the authorities to be “low culture”.
The edition “Anatoms Sonores” was inspired by this unique episode in the history of music and merges two essential mediums in my artistic practice: photography and sound performance.
In 1997, analog photography led me to medical imagery, I established a bridge between the two techniques and started using X-ray film as a main support and pursued an exploration that has continued to evolve ever since. For this project, I used analog X-ray films from my own production,pressed with an extract from the performance “Microsillon X” specially conceived to challenge the microgrooves.
The edition of 250 Anatoms Sonores is composed of 20 images, printed in an edition of 12 unique prints with a wide range of variations, depending on the type of X-ray film (for veterinary or hospital use) the brand and the expiration date (ranging from 1997 to 2024). A further 10 records were pressed on blank X-ray films.
As part of Vasco Cesaretti’s sculpture installation at Motto Paris, we’re hosting a live concert by the artist himself on April 10, from 8 pm. Please join!
Join us with your kids for Noise and Trolls in the Mountains, a puppet performance in a suitcase based on an Icelandic fairy tale. This dark story unfolds in a white landscape filled with lakes, glaciers, and mysterious creatures, accompanied by a soundtrack of electronic music. We start at 3 PM.

“A family portrait of the Mamleyevs in a tight interior of a small Moscow apartment is an experiment in metaphysical documentary filmmaking. Yuri Mamleyev, the author of a great prose about Russian chthonic tradition. His wife, translator Maria Alexandrovna Mamleyeva, flips through a photo album with the pictures of Parisian and American exile. But the eerie time reverberates somewhere near these scenes of unpretentious coziness, in the editing voids and the disturbing hum of the abstract soundtrack.” – Andrey Kartashov
The event is organized within the framework of the cinema club and Film Association K1NO1 Paris.
