Synopsis
A portrait of four abandoned spaces inside the so-called “Zone of Alienation” in Chornobyl, Ukraine: a dripping swimming pool, a ruined concert hall, a mould-infested gymnasium, and an old village church. In each room, he made a recording of 10 minutes and then played the recording back into the room, recording it again. This process was repeated up to ten times. As the layers got denser, each room slowly began to unfold a drone with various overtones. For the visual representation of the four rooms, Kirkegaard explored a variety of techniques, working with layers, overexposure, and video feedback, that can be understood as analogous to his acoustical method.
