This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Through this paper, I propose a way of considering audiovisuality as an object in and of itself, thinking through its materiality and the role language plays in its construction. I discuss Karen Barad’s Agential Realist methodology as a way of accessing this object with a view to exploring how this might affect the way we sound an image. I propose that the essay film, or an essay film/text hybrid, is the form that can best articulates this way of thinking. I conclude by asking how a diffracted reading of the {sound-image-language} object can be used as a methodology for sounding images.
