Countdown

Videowork, 2012, 16:9 Full HD video, 8´06 min, stereo sound

I have been filming windows and the views from these windows in a dark house. 
By doing that, I have tried to create a feeling that the window view is seen from
somewhere deeper inside the mind. In the beginning of the video, the window views
are bright and visible but they become more darker as the time passes. And in the
end of the video, the last window view is barely visible. This process is accompanied with sound of heartbeat and voice of an elderly woman, who is counting down the
numbers from 21 to 0 (each windowview has one number.) In the last frame, when
outside view is really dark and number 0 is said, the sound of heartbeat ends.
