Scener
En serie af videoværker og fotografier, der sammenføjer forkellige rum. Arkitektoniske, filmiske og formelt-abstrakte rum samles til sceniske tableauer eller modeller i videosekvenser og fotografier. Rummenes tid og sted fremstilles som en flydende og vægtløs svimmelhed, der på samme tid erfares som forførende og fatal. En genkendelig orden er bragt i uorden for at generere en anden form for orden.

The project Scenes consists of four photographs and a line of videos. The photographs are shown as Lambda prints in 70 x 100 cm. mounted on cardboard. The video contains 7 different sequences with various titles such as "A scene for friday" "A scene for security" "A scene for intermezzo" … The sequences can be shown together or separately.

The photographs and the video sequences are all carried out (produced) after the same method: A video-projection onto a model, and then re-filmed by a camera.
The purpose / the immediate effect is to confuse the perception of 2 – and 3 dimensional. The videopicture is a representation of a 3 dimensional reality (mostly as modern architecture) in a 2 dimensional picture – made 3 dimensional by the model – and back to 2 D in the re-filming. Futhermore I use old fashioned “analogue” film tricks in creating the pictures rather than digital effects – smokemachine, soap bubbles, colored lights, shadows (This is the formal aspect of the project).

My attempt is to create a moment of dizziness in the confusion between “real” and “representation”. To catch the moment where things fall out of order – to create an off-beat. I mostly use pictures of new modern architecture to create my “scenes”. Because modern architecture represent "a sterile new order" - power and order – a structure - easy to interrupt. - As Jacques Tati in “Playtime” only without actors. I would like to do slapstick without clowns – the emptiness making it so much more melancholic. I would like to use dizziness, moments out of orientation as an analogue drug – as a psychedelic – as a way to get high within just the glimpse of an eye until you recognize the set. To escape modern order and regulated behavior. As in traditional psychedelic art it is an escape based on an aesthetic experience. A lustfull way to get out order.
