Certainly a not too short experimental lunch-break-docu-voodle by bk featuring a playful and fast-edit of early test-footage re-discovered and now screened as a friendly gesture to a very dear friend - all shot in Oslo, Norway - 2008.01.29 and edited 2008.08.05. It's not Bergman reinvented but a reflection on possible alternatives - yet most of all it's an expression of gratitude for a very inspiring work and many utmost stimulating deep perceptions! View what you probably already have seen - now altered in the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft made very much audible by ccmixter's artemisstrong.
