Developed in residence at Somerset House Studios, visual artist Sam Williams (https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/residents/sam-williams-roly-porter) and musician Roly Porter (https://www.instagram.com/rolyporter) present Salvage Rhythms, a collaboration resulting in a performance and film drawing on systems of archaeology, mycelial networks, composting and non-human relationships to explore different possibilities of survival and connection. Sam and Roly will present a newly commissioned film Salvage Rhythms at Somerset House Studios in 2020, which collages together sound and movement from their performance of the same title at AGM (https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/agm) , with original and found footage; animation and photography to create a dense and decaying compost of human and non-human entanglement. Salvage Rhythms features as part of I Should Be Doing Something Else Right Now (https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/gallery-31-i-should-be-doing-something-else-right-now) , the second season at Somerset House Studios' new permanent exhibition space, Gallery 31, from 23 Jan – 31 May 2020. Produced by Femi Oriogun-Williams for Reduced Listening. Commissioned by Somerset House Studios
