Dora García
Dora García works on projects that tend towards infinite growth, resorting to practices such as invisible theatre, footnotes, and serendipitous exploration. In FONS AUDIO #38, she talks about her projects, her working methods, and the countless historical transfers between psychoanalysis and literature.
Manolo Laguillo
Manolo Laguillo is a photographer, essayist and professor of photography in the Fine Arts Faculty, Universitat de Barcelona. His stark, deserted urban representations illustrate processes of change in the contemporary metropolis. In FONS AUDIO #37 Manolo Laguillo talks about his methods of working with large format cameras, about his walks in the city outskirts, about puddles, asphalt and ruins, about the qualities of colour and black and white, the sensuality of prints on paper, and the links between music and photography.
The slippery materiality of untraceable objects: from the arsenic poisoning the wells of Bangladesh as told by Nabil Ahmed, to Arie Altena's account of the superstition surrounding the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, or the bizarre biology of the vampire squid from hell in a passage of Vilém Flusser’s ‘Vampyroteuthis Infernalis’ read by AGF.
Matt Mullican
Through a series of practices designed to examine all the folds and psychological strata of the real, Matt Mullican circles around notions such as virtuality, cosmology, subjectivity, and the idea of a memory theatre. In FONS AUDIO #36 he tells us about life on the other side of the mirror, explains different ways of handling a corpse, and talks about the mind’s endless capacity to create imaginary or parallel worlds.
Patricia Dauder
Patricia Dauder creates essential structures as a result of long-term work processes that allow her to set up a fluctuating dialogue between observation of the physical world, experimentation with matter, and the analysis of systems of representation. In FONS AUDIO #35 Patricia Dauder uses the work Model #1 as a springboard into her creative process and into aspects such as travelling, ruins, colours, textures, and other interests that shape her cosmologies.
