Breath, rhythm, silence, resonance: listening beyond seeing in the films of Trinh T. Minh-ha

In the context of the Artist in focus: Trinh T. Minh-ha program at Courtisane festival 2023, we invited musician, author and curator David Toop to reflect on the sound work in her films. The resulting publication, titled Breath, rhythm, silence, resonance: listening beyond seeing in the films of Trinh T. Minh­-ha, is the first publication in the Echoes of Dissent series, devoted to the politics of the soundtrack.

Published by Courtisane, in the context of the project Echoes of Dissent @ KASK & CONSERVATORIUM School of Arts Gent.

The interrogation of the relationship between cinema and politics is predominantly associated with the visual domain, where the politics of the audio-visual is all too often reduced to the politics of the image. The publication series Echoes of Dissent aims to parry the hegemony of the eye, and subsequent disregard for the ear, by examining the relationship cinema-politics from a sonic perspective.
