still from Underline, HDV, color, sound, 5 min, 2013

Underline uses a narrow horizontal fragment of the high definition video screen to depict a view of the landscape seen from a traveling train. The repetitive noise of the moving train gradually shifts to moments of silence, and the narrow field of view changes shape before vanishing. We see a limited image of the winter-blue light over the mountains partly covered with snow, and the passing shadow of trees. 

When it is silent a weak noise becomes more considerable, and the same goes with a little light in the dark.
