Summary: | A multilocational installation piece in Denmark and Iceland including screendances on three different platforms: Bekkur/Baenk 1: two 90 minute long installation pieces Bekkur/Baenk 2: four short online videos Bekkur/Baenk 3: two short telephone clip The site specific dance film installation Bekkur/Baenk 1,2,3. created by the German/Icelandic artist collective SALTS, was filmed in Iceland and Denmark, installed simultaneously in both countries and accessible to the online audience via various media platforms. It consisted of three elements. Bekkur/Baenk 1 was presented in Reykjavik and Copenhagen as a public space installation in cafes via several 90 minute long films, Bekkur/Baenk 2 as 1-2 minute long online videos, and Bekkur/Bænk 3 as 20 second long mobile phone clips. The different videos were therefore screened simultaneously in multi-locations and challenged the usual format of screendances with regard to time, dynamic and aesthetic. Audiences were random passers-by in public spaces who discovered videos in various real locations and digital platforms. Apr—Jun 2010 Simultaneously screened at Tiu Dropar in Reykjavik (Iceland) Café Salonen, Copenhagen (Denmark) online: www.bb123.tv May 28-Jun 14, 2010 Dansehallerne-Screen Moves, DansensHus Lounge, Copenhagen (Denmark) & Café Elefanten, Copenhagen (Denmark) |
