"Snowstorm“ observes a memory athlete as she memorises a binary code. The documentary style camera work and the text shown at the beginning suggests that it is Cornelia Beddies, a famous memory athlete. The mental strength and the high degree of concentration is apparant in her face.
The binaries used in the Video are based on a digital photography that eventually leads to William Turner´s seascape "Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth” hanging in the Tate Britain, in London.
