Abstract

This experimental short uses found-footage and audio to explore the tactile and visceral relationship of sound and image. ASMR soundscapes of museum restoration and 1940s horror are combined to create an unexpected mix of surfaces.

Made as a companion piece to my previous video 'Kiss me softly | crackly | sharply', this video draws on the work of sound artist, designer and researcher, Julie Rose Bower, and our previous collaboration concerned with foley work and its embodied nature. The video responds to Bower's work on the relationship between foley and ASMR practices, using several examples from her series 'ASMR at the Museum' to explore the visceral qualities of sound and a playful dynamic between sound and image.
