Digital HD / 16:9
An experimental video that was shot at specific locations in the south of Sweden where Warsen grew up; Nybro (Pukeberg & Västeräng), Söderåkra (Fulvik, Djursvik & Örarevet) as well as the northern parts of Öland, known as the ”Troll Forrest”.
The ”unsharpness” or ”blurry” esthetical approach, is a way to turn the natural landscapes into abstractions while trying to deal with the memory of a place in relationship to the actual location. The film was made in 2017 and reedited in 2024.
Music by WAR SAN.
Produced by AFTONLANDET.
