Carl Henrik Svenstedt
Landscape After Verlaine
– Madame, Your soul is an exquisite landscape …
A 25 min´s composition of sounds and images, consisting of a central projection wall, 6 monitors and loudspeakers. At the monitors are read 6 love poems from different ”landscapes” in France, Sweden and the Caribbean; these suites are in ”clear reading”, also image-wise, each take being made from fixed positions and 60 seconds long. The huge picture wall shows a fusion of the 6 monitored landscapes, immersed in Marie Samuelsson¨s mighty sound composition.
