Water on Stone
 

Water on Stone

Like water on stone, mourning seeps in, softening, eroding, consuming old enmities and guiding a woman along the transformative precipice of grief. What is released, what remains and what will follow?

An homage to a new visual dialect that has become a symbol of the virtual forms of communication and at the same time - due to its fascination with the fundamentals of the moving image - a memento of the birth of cinema. The continuous flow of disperse images works as a glimpse into the unconscious of the visual consumer in the age of social media, while the use of film creates a dialogue between the digital and the analogue that crafts a new texture of the real.

I generally gravitate towards places that reveal the many layers of time when deciding on a particular location to set up my camera and tripod. This is when I like to imagine worlds that have passed, worlds that are present, and worlds that are yet to be. In 2009 Johan Rockström led the team which developed the "Planetary Boundaries Framework," a set of 9 boundaries that they define as a “safe operating space for humanity.” These scientists assert that once certain thresholds or tipping points are passed there is a risk of “irreversible and abrupt environmental change." In 1976 a number of companies began selling genetically modified foods and pharmacueticals for the first time.

A forensic exploration of our cultural obsession with images of the dead woman on screen. #Water /knowhowknow is a fictionalized documentary and a visual sound poem about our relationship with the ocean,- investigations based on the local situation from the Froan edging the Norwegian sea to the inner Trondheim fjord. We are all local inhabitants and global participants. The film with the sound composed by Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje, takes us through the fisheries down to the bottom of the ocean and its inhabitants, through historical flashes, boat building traditions, human vulnerability and hybris, subsea technologies and aquafarming watched by the mythical figurine "Guri Kunna" of the Froan sea - whom represent the forces of the oceans and the ancient knowledge of how to live with the sea. This is the first chapter in the short film series Knowhowknow investigating human relationship to its surroundings. The original title #Tjaetsie is water in the south Sami language.

"The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water.” (Sigmund Freud). An exhilarating journey into the collective unconscious where all the images, sounds and music are entirely from found footage.

All noise contains coloured particles of different substance and meaning. Fragile and impressionable, the fragments glide into abstract lines, colours and composition, creating Flimmer.. Surreal deliberate confusion about a difficult love approach.
