Proximity 2006
A time-lapse animation film about the disorientating and unsettling filmic space that occurs on the screen from an upside down view.

In my film works the main focus is on impermanence, transience, and ideas of change, shifts and “repositioning”. Landscape and architecture that appear to be solid and permanent is experienced unstable and disorienting. In travelling fields I am particularly interested in the idea of geography and how it can be examined and visually reworked in the dimension of altered time and filmic space. In this work I continue to work with shifts in perspective and working with the specific qualities it produces in the image. These qualities are results of certain ways of framing and the parallax movements produced by the travelling camera. It includes architectural elements and different ground surfaces in the Murmansk region, Kola Peninsula, Russia.
The director becomes an obsessive cat owner, getting the whole village involved when the pet goes missing only days before it's due to have kittens.
