verklaerte nacht verklaerte nacht 200017 min, video 8mma video on Arnold Schoenberg's Verklaerte Nacht projected at a music conert with Synfonia 21.The wave patterns on the canal surface seem to resemble the vibrations of the music. But as the breeze gradually dies down, a three dimensional space starts to emerge. It is the reflexion of a building in the water.Sometimes a wind blows and the image vanishes. However , its underlying structure is still there. The wave patterns are reconstructing it slowly.a project organized by the Royal College of Art with Symphonia 21 at Imperial College, London, January 2000
