The title, A Sound Not Meant To Be Heard, is a direct reference to Foley sound effects in film, a process where sounds are created independently from the moving image. Foley is often so well integrated into a film that it is unnoticed by the audience, without it a film can feel unnaturally quiet or uncomfortable. The disconnection between the sound that is generated and the object causing it is often comical or disproportionate. The usually hidden practice of Foley is shown in a number of Shaplands’ works, the most apparent is a series of prints on the walls where still lives are made up of sound effect props.
