​Skåne Slo-mo

​Skåne Slo-mo is a handheld artist video taken on impulse on a stormy winter afternoon on the Skåne coast in Southern Sweden, which I was visiting for the first time. I noticed the rain against the passenger car window was complicating my sense of place and felt a sudden sense of the uncanny, with too much to take in, or process. I realised if I mindfully held the camera phone still against the window and recorded the scene, I could potentially combine the perceptual layers of the window glass, the intermittent rain drops running off it, the coastal sand dunes and trees and finally the sea itself into one.  
 
Making the final work, I slowed down the recording to heighten the ambiguity I first felt, with the human conversation unintelligible, eerie and adding an element of sci-fi. The resulting video offers an open-ended, somatic based experience of that specific, and now rather sculptural landscape.
