Production & Genre
Histoire
Elina Brotherus has made the work over a period of time, at different times of the day and night. She has stated: "I often work in the early morning, in the evening or at night when the scarcity of light means long exposure times are necessary. In a sense this means that my photographs are about capturing a period of time, rather than being about the decisive instant." In some ways this film also operates like this, more like a series of expanded still photographs, rather than a moving image work.
Résumé
A study with the camera placed at a consistent vantage point, of the water and sky, with the horizon as constant back drop. Due to the consistent framing of the image we notice how the weather impacts on the scene. At times the water is tranquil, a flat and reflective surface like a mirror, whilst at other points it is turbulent and becomes unwelcoming and wild.
