Based on the video works I displayed at the Kluuvi Gallery, this video consists of a series of constructed images.
Two balls are bouncing in the same spot. They are screened on a TV monitor. Two spherical ceiling lights are reflected on the monitor. The sound of the bouncing balls can be heard. A man is sitting in a cupboard, switching a table light on and off. Blade Runner is being shown on TV. We hear the dialogue of the film. A mechanical metal Santa is going round a mechanical metal robot. We hear the sound they make. Two men are wrestling on the floor; they are seen from behind a bookshelf. The sound of the wrestling and the TV can be heard. A man is lying on his back on snow-covered ground. Farther away, we can see a character with an umbrella. Slow motion. We hear the slowed-down sound of the wind and the falling snow. An episode of a Winnie the Pooh film, shot hand-held from a TV screen and re-edited. The soundtrack consists of Pooh's song, re-mixed.
