A minimalist film. Behind a wall, somebody is playing badminton at dusk.
Frequently, photographers or video artists record present events. For instance, one of my video films shows a badminton racket that keeps popping up and vanishing behind a wall. Its position is different every time. We can’t see the players but we can tell that the match is very dynamic. There are a caravan and other attributes of a traveling funfair in the background. It was an existing situation, non-arranged, recorded on magnetic tape, an event that I “came across.”

I bought my first video camera in Finland, with the money I received for IFTHAT project, in 2000. I soon began to record various things, odd things, such as that wall that stood on the way to the funfair.
