HD Video, 4.1 Sound Channel (Surround Sound), 28'
Nothing’s Forever is a video installation that combines two different levels of time: Time-lapse and real time.
The source material for the montage of the time-lapse level is footage taken with webcams from research institutes in nature. The video shows daily recordings from the same location over the course of a year, each played back in 90-second time-lapse. The real-time layer shows birds that seem to move timelessly in the video image, following their own time. The 5.1 surround sound supports the spatial expansion of the video. The visual layers merge seamlessly, so that the two time layers only become apparent after a certain amount of viewing time.
