SIBERIAN FIELDWORKS (FIELDWORKS#10) - Audiovisual Presentation
SIBERIAN FIELDWORKS (FIELDWORKS#10)
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.
