Mares and Night Hags
2-channel video installation
At night, the landscape begins to flicker. Bodies move through the terrain, their contours only becoming visible through the camera. Some lie down, withdrawing from the daily cycle of work and exhaustion. Who stays awake when others are long asleep?
The exhibition by Young Valley Soil presents an installative video work. It was filmed with a night-vision camera in the Swiss regions of Appenzell and Graubünden — among hills, fields, mountains, and forests. When darkness falls and the human eye fails.
