Sunrise/ sunset + Hetken tie on kevyt (cover)
Installation;
video projection (DVD, 1 min loop), sound (DVD, 3:33 min), headphones
Karo
Szmit 2012
I
developed these works during an 2 month artist residency in Tampere,
Finland, themed „The city as a source of creativity“.
The
video loop Sunrise/ sunset is composed of a sequence of pictures
which simulate a sunrise and a sunset. The pictures are recordings of
the design on public busses in Tampere. I noticed slight differences
in the depiction of a sea view – changing positions of the sun,
clouds and birds – depending on different bus types.
For the
accompanying sound installation Hetken tie on kevyt (cover) (”For a
moment the road is light”) I recorded myself singing an a-capella
version of a Finnish pop song which was on heavy airplay during my
stay in Tampere. I met the challenge to interpret the slow and solemn
song as well as I could, since I am fascinated by the Finnish
language, while not able to speak it. My aim was also to join the
bulk of private and professional cover versions on Youtube.

The initial point for this work is my interest in big general terms like „everything“, „nothing“, „whatever“. I try to find diagrammatic forms of representation which - seeming significant at the first sight – serve as a framework for different context and content due to their universality and reduction.
