SIBERIAN FIELDWORKS (FIELDWORKS#10) - Audiovisuelle Präsentation
SIBERIAN FIELDWORKS (FIELDWORKS#10)
(english only)
A selection of Fieldworks captured in location during 2006-2007 in Chukotka, Siberia, Russian
Federation
Fieldworks are a series of films, a part of an ongoing experiment with ambiental video and
radio frequencies, a sort of landscape video notes I have been developing since 2000, with
these works I try to capture the atmospheric qualities of a landscape through visual and audio
field recordings captured on location. Using image and sound asa sort of spatial instrument, I
am interested in short waves signals and VLF, their atmospheric qualities and sound, capturing
the radio waves in each of the landscape I portray, allows me to grasp another dimension of it.
A sort of enhanced perception. I am interested also in the asynchronous randomness of the
relation between soundtrack and film. I see this work as a sort of post structural film, where
documentary and experimental film manners meet.
