AgriValley
two-channel video installation
16:9 full HD, 50p, 33:01 min
2022

This two-channel video installation captures the Netherlands’ current, yet futuristic, landscape through a purely cinematographic approach. The machines fill the space with images and sound and gradually the viewer see more and more interaction between man and the machine. The image rhyme emphasises both contrasts and similarities, and, at times, creates subtle absurdities. Sound plays an important role in this; the cadence of the machines together forms a new sound. Walking through the space, you experience the sounds of the different landscapes differently each time — thanks to the Dolby surround effect — and they tell the same story in different ways. The images and sound tell the story.
