OVERLAPP /
music+video : herman kolgen _ hd + quadraphonic audio + symphonic orchestra
Overlapp is a zoom-in between Different Train and Dust. It’s an urban impressionistic vision focusing on microscopic particules. “In 2010 during my stay in Asia when Korea was hit by typhon, I was able to film these images that became the source for the video”. The City was engulfed in suspended dust.
DUST /
music+video : herman kolgen _ hd + quadraphonic audio
Inspired by 1920 marcel duchamp + man ray’s photograph “élevage de poussière”, dust explores changes in the state of matter. Thus, at the turning point between the invisible and the visible, dust becomes intoxicating and the video surface a veritable accumulation of x-rays.
