1970 (56 лет)Do You Have the Shine?
Johan Thurfjell
"Do you have the Shine?" is a film version of the game with the same name. The setting for the film is inspired by the hotel in Stanley Kubrick's film,"The Shining". The viewer sees the deserted hotel corridors through the eyes of a boy on a tricycle. In spite of the non-interactive nature of the medium, the film is built up like the video game it is based upon. Through the rules presented in the intro and the rolling pointmarks, the viewer is inscribed with the notion that they are able to determine the course of the film. Corner after corner are passed with the uncomfortable, anxious feeling that decades of horror film have imprinted in all of us.

Tassemarken

"Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna ("ancient and modern Sweden") is a collection of engravings collected by Erik Dahlbergh during the middle of the 17th century" (from Wikipedia). In Dahlbergs images the buildings, cities, parks, castles and churches are in complete focus. The wild nature serves only as backgrounds or to frame the images. In Tassemarken I have cut out only the nature from about 60 - 70 images and put them together into a slow journey through the wilderness.
