Beneath the Surface touch the Sky
Animation 16 min. by Simone Hooymans
The animation for the song ́Beneath The Surface Touch The Sky ́ is a journey from the deepest places of the Fjord up to the highest mountain-top.
This is the second time I work with Torsvik/Winter on an animation/music project. The first project was a short animation made for the song
́Trees That Whisper ́.

As Far As You Can See
Curated by Kristine Wessel, Kulturbyrået Mesén in Oslo.
Kunst consultant Helse Førde: Saskia Burleson.
For: Helse Førde Livabygget, barne-og kvinne avdeling.
Animation (day and night videoloop) with sound installation.
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.
Title: ”As Far as You Can See”
Simone Hooymans. 2024
Special effects and second animator Hans Pulles
3-channel animation with sound shower
Sound: Mari Kvien Brunvoll
Wallpaper
Gobo outdoor projection
“As Far as You Can See” introduces a double-layered reality to the viewer. With a 3-channel animation plus sound installation, wallpaper throughout the corridors of the hospital and a gobo projection outdoors, the piece begins with floral wallpaper growing and spreading. A long breath blows an opening into another world unfolding from underneath. Soft rustling sounds move us from a sense of home and protection toward an eternal landscape.
There, plants remind us of paintings and experiences from the past. Within an almost symphonic sweep of landscape, “As Far as You Can See” creates a moment of silence in ourselves and gives us the freedom to wander and explore the new.
