2023 / DOS @ Nonagon Festival
@draftsofsilence visited Svanö and surrounding areas during a residency earlier spring 2023. Sounds and images of the industrial areas around Ångermanälven were captured through analog film and binaural methods. Among the places visited were the Hydroelectric power plant in Sollefteå, where we collected sounds and images of the tamed streams of water. The collected audiovisuals will be presented as an installation during the @nonagonfestival festival.
The original idea of Drafts of Silence is to reflect on spaces in transformation, places of development and historical industrial spaces through audiovisual art. The audiovisual interplay is based upon interpretation of what at a glance seems like an unusable gap. The result, an installation combining music and photography, is molded by the place it’s meant to reflect upon.
