What do Toronto’s landscapes sound like, what are the colors that evoke its spaces, what is their rhythm and tone? This is the starting point of The Sound of Images.

Laura Moreno Bueno is an artist whose career is characterized by combining sound and visual experimentation around themes such as the body, movement, and analogical processes. In this project, she sets out to transform the images projected on 16mm into sounds by using photosensitive microphones. By converting light into sound, she creates a soundtrack from the footage of a city projected on the screen. This experiment involved the manufacture of microphones that she describes as “photophone transistors: more than microphones, these are instruments that use images, not strings or wind, to make sound.” The resulting piece acts as a diary of her stay in Toronto that Moreno Bueno built around the colors and shapes found in her driftings through the city. Playing with double exposures, expired emulsions, color filters and different processes of development by hand, Moreno Bueno modulates the images via processes open to chance, producing a visual symphony of a city that actually sounds by direct sonification of its projected images.

Laura Moreno Bueno is interested in the transfiguration of audio-visual codes from digital or analogical media. She studies creation at the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola in San Sebastián, where she researches body representation and delves into analogical processes. Her films have screened at the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Images Festival, FIC UNAM, (S8) Cinema Periférico, and others.

Laura Moreno Bueno

Images Festival operates on land stolen from the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Tkáron:to is currently home to diverse Indigenous and Métis peoples as well as people who settle on this land. As part of Treaty 13 and the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Covenant, we acknowledge that we all eat from the same bowl and spoon, and must take only what we need, ensuring resources are available for all. 

As art workers, artists, and curators, we see the process of untangling ourselves from settler complicity as internal, structural, and ongoing. It is not something to be taken lightly. The inclusion of Indigenous artists and curators into our program is just the first step of necessary and deeper change. Extending from our organizational accountability work, we strive to not only undo forms of complicity, but also actively create an environment and infrastructure that can support Indigenous peoples who work with us. 

Images expresses our solidarity with Indigenous people on Turtle Island and globally. We are committed to continuing to learn, critique, and challenge the settler colonial structures we are complicit in.
