ROAD. FRAGMENTS

The audio essay by the DIG Store team is a melancholic soundscape inspired by the artistic journey of photographer Lyalya Kuznetsova.

«‍This collage is an imaginary soundtrack to the life of Lyalya Kuznetsova, composed of episodes from her biography, experiences, and events. There is no linearity or chronology. It is more like a diary, the pages of which were stuck together in random order. The authors used audio fragments from films and interviews with Kuznetsova, some of them transformed or looped, leading to the appearance of new sounds and patterns.»

The DIG Store team worked with Lyalya Kuznetsova’s archive.
