Blindgang ( Blind Walk ) 2004
Duration 28:13 min. 2 screen video installation / surround sound.

Blindgang er et forsøg på at koble et visuelt medie på en ikke seendes sansning.
Billederne viser en blind kvinde og hendes førerhund er på deres daglige tur. Begge bærer et videokamera, den blinde kvinde på hendes brystkasse og hunden på sit hoved. En stor del af tiden er hunden på plads ved kvindes side, således de to synsindtryk, de to POW er parallelle registreringer af de scenerier, der ligger foran dem. Optagelserne vises simul­tant og under hele turen beskriver den blinde kvinde hvad hun fornemmer og hører. Det vi ser, er ikke nødvendigvis det samme som det hun beskriver. Kameraets beskæring af virke­ligheden bliver en begrænsning, ligesom det manglende syn er en begrænsning, således der opstår forskydninger mellem billede og lyd i tingenes tilsynekomst.

Blindgang / Blind Walk
Video installation on 2 monitors.  28: 13 min. Surround sound

Blind Walk is an attempt to reinsert a visual media on the sense perception of a blind person.
The imagesshow a blind woman and her guide dog on their daily trip. Both carry a camcorder, the blind woman has the camcorder mounted on the breast and the dog on its head.Generally the dog is in position, and the visual impressions, the two POW of both camcorders are parallel registrations of the scenery. The videos on the two screens are shown simultaneously. During the entire tripthe blind woman describes what she feels and hear.What we see is not necessarily the same as she describes. The camera cropping work of reality becomes a constraint, like the lack of sight is a limitation, and a displacement arise between pictures and sound showing the appearance of the surroundings.
