A STRANGE GRATITUDE
from A Thousand Ancestors by Michelle Arcila & Eivind Opsvik Loyal Label (LL017)
A Thousand Ancestors is the culmination of a long-standing collaboration between photographer Michelle Arcila and musician Eivind Opsvik which synthesize the strong influence of visual imagery on music, and vice versa. Hailing from Costa Rica and Norway, two different countries with distinct cultural traditions and folklore, A Thousand Ancestors is an exploration of family history and the continuing influence of ancestral narratives on the present generation. The project is a limited edition box set (numbered edition of 500) designed by Espen Friberg containing a ten-track vinyl LP (plus a CD and download card), ten photographic prints, each of which correspond to a track on the record, and a poster.
The artists aim to slow time for the observer, and allow him/her to perhaps uncover distant, buried memories of their own during the encounter. A beautiful example of this can be experienced in “A Strange Gratitude”-- the second track and print on A Thousand Ancestors pairs a steady, escalating tension of bass strings with a slightly ominous, dreamlike image of two silver-haired figures obscured by a thin veil of dying tree branches in the foreground, hazy snow-covered mountains stretching behind.
Pre-release at the 2014 MoMA PS1 NY Art Book Fair, with an edition signing at noon on Saturday, September 27th. A Thousand Ancestors will be featured and for sale with the Jessica Williams + Friends group as part of Norway Focus: KUNSTNERBØKER.
