“Listening to images” is a method described and used by Tina M. Campt in her book with the same title.
Rather than focussing on the production of silences, it proposes to listen to the quietness of the quotidian as an unarticulated “low-frequency” vibration, telling stories about complicated balances of forces. Rather than acts of resistance, it finds habits of refusal and identifies them as a vital strategy of the dispossessed.quiet is not an absence of articulation or utterance. Quiet is a modality that surrounds and infuses sound with impact and affect, which creates the possibility for it to register as meaningful. (Campt :10)
