Based on 35mm film being video taped while rolling through mechanical cinema platform system, we look at the image in movement on the film itself, and its small reflection or projection on the aluminum platform. This work is based on the illusion of movement in films made by the succession of image.

These works are more suitable to be displayed or viewed on a video monitor or HD TV, as a small looped installation, than in cinema program.





2 x IS

Video work, variation project and display, remix from video “IS”. 2011.

Video. 2011.
9min09s.

2 X IS is a video work, variation project, remix of the video "IS".
The video "IS" (ice in Swedish) was made in 1996 and re-edited for digital purpose in 2006.
It has now been remix, with the same video twice, in a 2 frame video screen, with a slight delay between the 2 video frame.
This is multiplying the sound track, with a small delay, speeding up the ryhtm, since the sound is repeated just few seconds after first bit and overlapping first track.

You can watch 2 x IS in HD on Vimeo.
