Land by Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra

Music for the short film 'Land' by Rei Hayama. The film inspired by the landscape of Friesland, the north part of Netherlands. The flatness of horizon, the history of fought with water suggests us a sense of "Wall" between human and nature. In other word, it is the relationship between modernity and natural environment. Is it really possible to communicate in mutual by merely our own language and imagination? The attempt to catch a glimpse of natural world in modernized human world is somehow becomes a microscopic way of gaze, and there we may find a pin hole that connects to nature, whilst the landscape itself is extremely extensive.
This film was made for an art project Klanklanskippen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands in November 2015, as a collaboration work with Japanese and Frisian Artists. At the first screening and other several screening, this film was screened with live sound performance by Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra, as part of the Tsjinlûd collective.
