Two Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-One Days Part 2
Part document, part hallucination
Part document, part hallucination
A trance-like drift through an animated world.
Cranes in the north of Sweden gather before their flight to North Africa, a church choir in rehearsal, spiderweb suspended in midair, shadows cast by falling snowflakes. Time collapses into a stream of monochrome still images that seem to be moving. Long stretches of silent flicker. Faces surface, then vanish. Landscapes shift in and out of focus in a high-speed slideshow.
The black-and-white flow is punctuated by sequences in colour and sound: sea foam forming, a metal dragon, Mickey Mouse on a bus, raspberry-red nails sorting raspberries, a Ukranian gopher, a soap-bubble screensaver on a computer desktop in a hardware store, a homemade vortex, and on.
