The Site of Whispers (häftad, eng)

“Campbell shifts the epistemic ground, the color and desires for sound, and in such shifting makes us ask questions about where we thought we were, where we might be when thinking through lm, where lm might take us if we have the courage to join in a practice of uncertainty and hiddenness and relax our anxieties about what it means to make meaning and allow for immersive experience.” —Ashon Crawley

In this volume, writer/scholar Ashon Crawley and artist Crystal Z Campbell explore the ways in which fragments and gaps in the archive can act as historical conductors, offering new approaches to Black geography, land and body, and the public secrets embedded in landscapes.

What is the relationship between remembering and forgetting? Is the sonic a way to get at the archive and what exceeds its capture? Contributions consider the place of the un- translatable, of strategies of opacity, and of rumor in and beyond Campbell’s experimental documentary work.
