Fireworks

Filmed from a rooftop, the viewer whitnesses a firework in a peripheric area, which is far from being the least spectacular.
With a nearly senseable efford each rocket seems to work its way solitarily into the nightsky to give a blast and light it for a second.

But the reception of contemplation embedded in a suburban context is disturbed.
The slightly shaking hand camera and the drizzle of the night video image bring different pictures to mind.

Lingering between the actually shown, nearly meditative event, and the link to media images of crisis documentary or modern war reportage, the work deals with the controvercy of per- ception in a time of a media enforced common picture memory.
