T H E M E #1 - W E A R E A L L T R A V E L L E R S
Through space and time, from life to death - and beyond. Everything is movement, transitions, rhythm, patterns. So much in life consists of repetition, variations on a theme, mixed by life itself; it's all very subtle but now and then we become aware of it - Déjà vu!
Time Is Movement | Movement Is Change | Change Is Time
¤ Falling
¤ Imperceptibly Shifts Everyday Life its Face
¤ Travel Mindscape Triptych
¤ A selection of photographs
T H E M E #2 - W A T C H O U T
A kind of war drama that takes place mostly within the viewers head. A few stills, sound effects and a soundscape along with some video effects and a couple of old portraits in b/w - and of course, blended with different memories from the viewers. And with a twist at the end of the film.
¤ Watchtower
¤ A selection of my photographs
T H E M E #3 - T I M E
My point is that there are two main kinds of nostalgia: a good one and a bad one. It is necessary to reflect over the past. As humans we are living in the past, in the present and in the future - all at the same time. But we can never go back. Then we will be 'lost in a lost world'. But bear in mind: time and memory is the same thing, so please: Remember Us.
¤ Embraced by Time - Remember Us
¤ Did You See That Bird?
¤ A selection of my photographs
T H E M E #4 - M A N & N A T U R E
This short film is compiled from two other short films; Urban People and Water, both of them filmed in the central areas of Stockholm. In this compilation I have made a framework with three blocks of text and two soundscapes. One of the main questions the film raises is: Is it possible to separate Nature from Man at this point in the history of evolution? Nature - from the dawn of Man, under the influence.
