PRIVATE VIEW: The exhibition will preview with the premier of the X-Ray Audio documentary made with Vinyl Factory featuring interviews with Russian bone bootleggers and buyers, archive footage and various commentators.

“They are images of pain and damage inscribed with the sound of forbidden pleasure; fragile photographs of the interiors of Soviet citizens layered with the ghostly music that they secretly loved.”

Place: the Soviet Union, Era: the Cold War. All music is subject to a censor and the recording industry is completely controlled by the State but music-mad bootleggers discover an extraordinary alternative means of reproduction: they repurpose used x-ray film as the base for making records of forbidden songs.

X-Ray Audio return to The Horse Hospital to present a selection of these incredible beautiful and spooky X-Ray records with images, films and stories of those who made them.
