Short Experimental
From a mere technical point of view the tv/video screen comes alive by a controlled beam of electrons in the cathode ray tube. For 'Energie!' an uncontrolled high voltage discharge of approx. 30.000 volts exposes photographic paper which is then arranged in time to create new visual systems of electron organization. Even though the result is abstract it tells a universal story older than the world itself.
Global Landscape
When dreams of Latvian independence turn into a nightmare as families struggle for any quality of life under a new market economy, a migrant worker pays an agency to find him a job anywhere in Europe.
