Public Transport

2020
Four channel video and audio installation


The four videos are projected on the longer walls of a small room, two on each
wall. A small speaker is mounted above each projection.
The videos show the view from the windows of trains and busses, all driving in
the same direction. The speed of each video is manipulated so that they all stop
at the same time at their stations, and drive off at the same time. The speed of
the videos and sound therefore becomes very different, but since they drive and
stop together in the same direction the room can be seen as one public transport
vehicle, driving in different places and at different time levels simultaneously.
The sound is also either too fast or too slow, deep or high.

The production was supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and The Icelandic Visual Arts Fund
