Filmed 2006.
Watch how the artist Bjørn Venø¸ gets more and more deranged whilst shooting the photographic series Sirkel.
For two weeks Venø had the following procedure:
- Scout for locations, setup camera and tent, plan out composition.
- sit with camera from sunrise to sunset, looking at the light and space whilst photographing.
- When the moment feels right enter the space and perform a series of actions whilst the camera is photographing in intervals.
- Return to the camera and continue photographing the space.
- On some occasions Venø would light up the landscape with a work light and capture it using long exposures.
Postproduction
- Edit images to find the one picture that conveys the ideas Venø wishes to disseminate.
- Stitch a selection of the space images and the one performance image to create the final artwork.
- Chose 6 pictures from the 10 pictures created
