Thank you both! You may still be able to see it, as it is now on in las palmas, Gran Canaria. Maybe a nice excuse for a wee holiday..?;-)

Fabulous imagery, as usual from you. It hits me as both serene, yet menacing... all at once. That's a good thing, it seems to me.

But, I'll admit, I was somewhat distracted by the human figure. For me, too many references of speakers walking in front of a Powerpoint presentation came to mind. I, then, became all too aware that I was seeing a projection. Before that, I was lost in the imagery... and happy to be lost there.

Of course, not being there myself, I'm seeing it out of context and not the complete piece, so it's a bit unfair of me to mention.

Bottom line, another wonderful piece by OM.

Oh, I should add... that the audio couldn't have been a better fit. It, too, was delicious.

I understand your point about the figure but just to offer the context of this upload for you and others.

We could easily have uploaded the original installation footage but it was designed for this gallery space and would not have represented what it actually was or how it was experienced in reality, so instead we chose to illustrate the installation itself.

The figure is to offer a human context within the environment so that's a pity you found it distracting, but hope that the mood and atmosphere was carried across well too. We'll just have to show it elsewhere soon so you can experience in full stereo and HD quality projections.

Thanks for your very kind words nevertheless :-)

the figure doesn't bother me at all. at some moments the shadow works really well with the landscape (esp. in the mist). it also emphasises the width of the screen and that you literally have to move your head when you follow a little cloud across it. it shows how an installation works in the space it was created for. i like it because it turns into something else. like a frame story (raamvertelling).

I tried to get best of both worlds in here, by adding the figure later in the piece, so there's still enough time to enjoy it also without the figure and its dimensional context. Thanks for your constructive comment though.
I hope you are doing fine and still making great works!

Ahh... if I understand you correctly... you are simulating where someone might stand if they were to visit the installation? If I have it right, then, that makes perfect sense and really has nothing to do with the actual installation. Sorry that was missed on me first time around.

Mr Musser - spot on! It's a simulation in a sense to offer a contextual approach to the installation. Merely presenting the images here would not suggest the importance of place, the location itself.

these videos can never replace the physical installation experience - but it does do a good job of showing the work with out being there - giving you some sense of the sensibility and sensitivity of the work. looking forward to seeing it for real. thanks.

wow!!

Sumptious!

Lovely lovely...nice excuse for a holiday indeed...

Another amazing piece of work and I like the idea of Robin just standing there, it adds to the "isolation" of the piece and in fact it's very much like the islands.
