Folksong
Video sent by gretchenworsley

A small preface – The video ends quite abruptly. There’s about 15 minutes of black at the end. The final credits didn’t quite work out.

I will be uploading the new version early next week. I’d love your feedback.

This is some of my first footage. I wanted to show it because I think that the icelandic artist, Ragnar Kjartansson, has a very unique take on the ‘landscape portrait.’ He played/posed from 11-5 for 10 consecutive days. Instead of the classic, “nature mort,” the French translation of “still life,” (which actually translates to “dead life/nature”), he portrays a living painting, a “tableau vivant.”

    i kind of like the idea of a tableau vivant, although it does remind me a bit of reality tv.
