Something In the Air, 2007

This work is a collage of projections and projection techniques. A single image is being projected onto the wall by a slide projector: a forest and trees probably during a storm. The sky spreads extensive and brightly tinted above nature. Into the sky, and almost reaching the edge of the tree line, a videoloop in the shape of a circle is being projected. A static and flickering background reminiscent of white noise, and vellicating, moving, shadowy outlines of plants and scrub. They are still part of nature - but through montage and contrast they seem technical and morbid.

The slide image of a forest, in itself still and fixed, is partly put into movement by this second projection. A new  natural 'element' sneaks into the picture - although nature in the video doesn´t look 'natural' at all.

Two images melt on one wall, in one picture, although the two parts of its construction are openly visualized by the visable video beamer and slide projector on the floor. Mixed but still clearly separated from each other, two different things happen at the same time, in the same place.
