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.

NEWS FROM THE OTHER WORLD
a film by Valentina Bek about the writer Yuri Mamleyev

“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.

Information about the most famous novel, ‘The Sublimes’ by Yuri Mamleyev, can be found here

Join us with King Koala Press in Berlin on Tuesday, Nov 12, from 7-9 PM for a presentation of ‘Truly Blessed’, a compelling visual narrative exploring community responses to racial and religious discrimination.

Published by King Koala Press, this book features a foreword by Jeffrey Q. McCune, PhD, and includes an extensive interview with Chris Suspect by Ibarionex Perello, host of The Candid Frame. With a testimonial from Guggenheim Fellow Maggie Steber, ‘Truly Blessed’ uses photography to bridge the sacred Black church and secular erotic spaces, highlighting the convergence of body, mind, and spirit. This work acknowledges the complexities of the “sacred” while celebrating the unapologetic existence of the sexual-secular-sacred trinity in the Black queer community.

Meet and greet, book signing and photo exhibition.
