The Sound of Images

Moreno Bueno is an artist whose track record has combined sound and visual experimentation around themes such as the body, movement and analogue processes. She has set herself the task of converting images projected through 16 mm into sounds by using photosensitive microphones. The resulting artwork is a kind of diary of Moreno Bueno’s stay in Toronto, which she produced using the colours and shapes found in her wanderings around the city. She also plays with double exposures, expired emulsions, colour filters and different methods for developing by hand, gradually modifying the images (via a random, open procedure) in a symphony of a city that truly sounds, by directly translating its projected images. It is an experiment that involved creating microphones that she herself describes as “photophonotransistors”. Rather than microphones, they are instruments that use images instead of strings or wind to create sound.

Dein Beileid

An empty house. Inside, four surveillance cameras showing different rooms. A woman in a winter coat enters the hallway, holding a large plate of cake. As if in a secret surveillance centre, we look at four monitors and watch the figures in black mourning clothes move from room to room. In the centre of it all is our main character, who tries in vain to escape the countless expressions of condolence. The traditional mourning rite as a social gauntlet. "Dein Beileid" was shot in two planned sequences with four cameras running in parallel. It is a play with the medium of film, an experiment with parallelism. With each viewing, the audience can focus their attention on new aspects and actively explore the plot and relationships. Depending on what we focus on, the film is sad, humorous, or in any case deeply atmospheric.

A Queer Arab Dichotomy

A film that revolves around the following questions: ‘Why are we expected to identify with a “queerness” that we had no power in creating? How can we speak the language of queerness when our languages, terms, expressions are trapped within and abbreviated into an international queer (English) language? How are we pressured into partaking in the norms of acceptable “queerness”? What are the costs of not fitting into these norms, and how can we counter this regulatory and disciplinary function of queerness at our current historical moment?’
