Video installation | dv | color | 0:15:00
Canada | 2002

Sheeploop is a still plan, a landscape that moves slowly. It offers a strange bucolic snapshot. To look at lambs shallow gradually their passing by a gazing, once again, and again, forces the viewer to consider again beauty of such an idyllic background. It is a typical Snow cinematic strategy. This work sensitizes us to the way we look at a landscape and on the very nature of our sight.

Alexander VAINDORF : New romantics
Experimental video | dv | color | 0:06:45
Sweden/ Sweden| 2003

"New Romantics" is a sequence of different place geographically far away from each other, gathered by a montage in order to create a only one, generic, where two white occidentals. Two local guides and a soul pursue an endless quest. The group of observant becomes part of this huge nature. A loop narration structure evokes what seems to be a situation where there is no way out. This video links reference to video games construction, to children stories and Caspar David Friedrich's paintings..
