you're somehow connected is an audio visual piece experienced through air, smoke, sound and light that reflects our time, culture, history and dreams about the future, and how we all are somehow connected. Duration 76 minutes.
The complete piece explores perception of sound and light in the meeting between dream and reality, the inner and the outer, the real and the surreal.
The multichannel piece consists of through-composed music. This music has been recorded and interwoven with electronic composition and manipulated field recordings of the body, skin and breathing is incorporated – as well as interviews with five people of different generations, nationalities and places about their dreams of the future:
Student Simran Skulberg de Souza (NO) in Bergen, college student Paulina Shtanko (BY) in Sct. Petersburg, visual artist Mohau Modisakeng (ZA) in Johannesburg, composer Marcos Balter (BR) in New York and writer Suzanne Brøgger (DK) in Copenhagen.
