night for day (2004, 30 minutes)

originally comissioned as a live performance for the new started randomsystem festival in Norway, night for day ended up as a half hour audiovisual composition in 13 parts. It is based on material shot and recorded in Tokyo, which through intense hours of improvisation and meticulous editing has been developed into something which can be described as expressionistic impressions from an urban reality, 13 audiovisual poems assembled into a surreal whole.

Night for day is a collaboration between video artist HC Gilje and the noise duo Jazzkammer, who have toured twice together, in Europe and Japan, and also collaborated on Twinn, a piece with Gilje´s dance company Kreutzerkompani.


It is part of my dvd Cityscapes, released on lowave in 2005.

Screenings:
The Norwegian Shortfilm festival 2004
Momentum 2004
Eyes for other Skies, Melbourne Australia (part 3)

Another manifestation of my tokyo recordings is the loop nearuki/sleepwalkers which was screened at Videogalleriet at Oslo Central Station in may 2003.
