Synopsis:

A short experimental documentary featuring 39’ 28’’ of pure Nordic concentration, revealing the silent magic of a conversation that comprehends a complete immersion from its participants.

An immobile camera frames two young women under a meeting. Unaware that they are filmed, the women are shown in deep concentration while they take notes and listen or respond to other, mostly invisible, participants. As viewers of the video we are not invited to participate in the meeting. Neither are we told about its content and remain 'completely outside' of the happening.

The women are shot from a low angle sitting at a table. Faces turned away from the camera we’re nevertheless able to recognize their features. The utmost attentiveness they signal is fascinating and the subtle body language that unfolds in front of us soon captures us. The drama reaches its first peak when they start to interact with an invisible person who is sitting next to the camera… and the women turn their faces towards us…

‘Drawing #1’ is a digitally enhanced video documentary on the issues of observing body and space morphologies. The role of the spectator is given but arguably not the one of the ‘voyeur’. Rather then the hidden and forbidden view, it presents us - not unlike the films of the Lumière Brothers - with a naive cinematic perspective on the phenomena of everyday life, only in this case it’s about the complete immersion of two Bergman-repertory like ‘protagonists’.

Appendix - viewer discretion:

'Approaching the nymphs' (in Quicktime / mpeg-4 / flv / or directly streamed) is a delicate matter - and so is the attribution of the feminine. Hence the male gaze operates with all respect (and the kind permission of the nymphs viewed) - moving one step forward and two back - over and over again. b.k.: hidden video 076-appendix for lomeg-rom.blogspot.com - 2'50''

On Burnouts And Architecture That Must Blaze

click to play in Quicktime / mpeg-4 video for iPod / or direct streaming at blip.tv

.
…

We want architecture to have more. Architecture that bleeds, that exhausts, that whirls and even breaks. Architecture that lights up, that stings, that rips, and under stress tears. Architecture should be cavernous, firey, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, delicate, colorful, obscene, voluptuous, dreamy, alluring, repelling, wet, dry and throbbing. Alive or dead. Cold – then cold as a block of ice. Hot – then hot as a blazing wing. Architecture must blaze.

Excerpt from ‘Architecture Must Blaze’ (1980)
Coop Himmelblau; Architecture Is Now.

A short experimental docu-voodle by bk featuring OMA's tvcc/cctv burnout captured in Beijing, China - 2009.05.08, almost three months after the blaze took place.
