Hello Frameworkers,

I’m preparing an academic article on experimental films with soundtracks that have their source in the human body, that is, primarily non-linguistic bodily sounds (or a more “primitive” form of language).

Valie Export’s performance video i turn over the pictures of my voice in my head (2009)

shows a close up-of the artist’s larynx from the inside out, while she strenuously reflects on the relevance of the voice (https://www.sixpackfilm.com/en/catalogue/1765/).

The soundtrack of Daichi Saito’s earthearthearth (2021) consists of an

improvisation by saxophonist Jason Sharp, in which his heartbeat and breathing play a prominent role.

Purely auditory examples (though without video – I am searching for films with image and sound tracks) are the sound poems of Henri Chopin. In Mes bronches (1968), for instance, he swallowed small microphones in order to record his bronchial cavities (https://on-air.caricomassimo.org/en/airchive/mes-bronches).



I wonder if anyone here could suggest more experimental films whose soundtracks involve the artist’s physical/bodily presence as a central element? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Best,

Gabriele Jutz
