dissolves by jez riley french

recordings of mineral dissolves (northern italy 2014) | time spent during two residencies | village arts festivals | one on my own and one with my daughter | one in the val d’aupa and one in udine province | the photographs trace my drives through the val d’aupa, searching for teleferica to record | at several places municipal advertising boards had been left unadorned, revealing traces of tape, glue and fragments of paper | each one fascinating to me | their randomly created details hinting landscapes, abstracts, mined mountain sides | the recordings mirror my walks along the rivers of the val d’aupa and the hill paths of udine | picking up a handful of rocks, drawn by their appearance | each mineral with its own audible variations | then the profusion of snail shells along the paths of topolo village | for me there are often synergies between photographs and sound recordings, something hard to define but that speaks clearly of itself.

recorded with JrF d-series hydrophones
