The Odorless Danger
The Odorless Danger was selected one of the 25 winners of the F.I.V.E. project.
Film by Swoon for F.I.V.E.
F.I.V.E. is the new international videoart project created by Magmart to explore the five senses.
The Odorless Danger In the sense of ‘smell’ I wanted to show something that has no smell at all. An odorless danger. In the news: “The Turner Radio Network (TRN) has recently issued a report on the Fukushima radiation being a serious threat to the West Coast of North America and others in the entire northern hemisphere. The radiation is coming from Reactor 3 in Fukushima’s nuclear disaster site in Japan. The nuclear reactor was damaged in Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster.” Wave by wave an odorless danger threatens to build up. I created a track from sound recordings made at the shore and combined them with recordings of a Geiger counter. All sounds were electronically shaped and re-shaped to create a soundscape fitting the endless waves and drops of ‘radiation’. The images are innocent recordings of gentle waves. Creating a tension with the soundscape and the knowledge of the threat.
