“I was in search of water and the effect its absence had on me,” writes Canadian sound artist and photographer Mark Templeton about Ocean Front Property. Consisting of a photobook and accompanying cassette, the project explores a sense of absence and geographic isolation through photography and sound. The photographs were made entirely in the landlocked province of Alberta, where the nearest ocean is a thousand kilometers away.
Rooted in the longing for the imagined comfort of warm blue water and an escape from familiar surroundings, these complementary sensory worlds form a kind of mirage, a prism of banal surfaces, spaces, and sonic textures through which fragments of an intangible fantasy can be glimpsed, tracing a circular psychic journey from the desolate to the sublime.
The photobook also contains an 8-page supplement compiling selections by eight artists whom Templeton invited to choose pairings of sound and image, suggesting possible feedback loops and alternative readings between the audio tracks and his photographs.
