Show Dream

Art vidéo | 16mm | couleur | 13:30 | Danemark | 2009

Show Dream is an emotionally disturbing film. It explores the world of transformation and dreams. The conjurer, the avenger, the woman with a new face, the horse and the egg woman is the four characters presented in Show Dream The film is a metamorphosis, we are thrust straight in to the middle of the story. There is no explanation to the rising questions; what?s burning? Why is that woman being made up? Where is she going? In Show Dream we detect the story before it happens ? something happened before we enter the scene ? and we leave the stage before the story ends. These unfinished stories, events before events will stick with the viewer long after the film finishes.
