Foley Objects: the Secrets Behind Cinema’s Sound Effects














Ciao! Your name?

Where are your from?
I am from Finland.
What is photography?
Photography for me is not only a tool but also an approach to see the pictures that are not yet there. I am more interested in creating works in series rather than producing single images. Also, the entire process and collaborations that working with photography entails are important for me, and affect the final work.
What is Foley Objects about?
In the photography series Foley Objects, I play with viewers’ expectations and with the conceptual delimitations of the photographic medium. The words below the images refer to the sound generated by the portrayed objects: the Foley technique consists in the reproduction of sound effects, which are added in postproduction to enhance the audio experience of films. The connection of the two, image and text, is in a sense arbitrary and surreal, but also strictly documentary in its approach. This collection of images could be seen as an archive of sounds as well as a twist between documentation and absurd playfulness.
