Animation project:

The Hidden Garden

Curated by Kulturbyrået Mesén in Oslo
For: Helse Førde barne-og kvinne avdeling.

Animation (day and night videoloop) with sound.

In commission of Helse Førde and curated by Kulturbyrået Mesén I am working on an artwork that consists of a 3 screen video and sound installation with animation, wallpaper design throughout 2 hallways and an outdoor Gobo projection. All the elements are connected together as one whole artwork.

The concept is to create a wallpaper that is visible on certain parts of the walls in the hallway and digitally on the 3 video screens that are connected together.
An 3-dimensional natural world opens up slowly and steadily behind a pattern of plant elements.
The digital version of the wallpaper visible on the flat screens will come alive. Plants grow, flowers open, insects and birds come out of their hiding place and start flying around.
The background between the botanical pattern subtly dissolves like a morning mist to reveal a deep open landscape.
The pattern on the wallpaper will undergo a transformation to be seen on every panel, but so evenly over time that you hardly notice the change.
