Travelling Fields
At first glance, the idea is so simple that it verges on arrogance. Here we have a film camera turned upside down and set in motion to capture suburban areas of northern Russia. The change of perspective indeed allows taking a fresh look at reality. Still, there would be nothing surprising about it but for maintaining the continuity of movement, which triggers a perceptual fight between the picture automatically reversed in consciousness (hey, the sky should be above!) and its on-screen definition.
