Bob Levene: Inertial Frame

Inertial Frame, 2009. © the artist

Filmed in South West Finland, Inertial Frame captures the moving sea, sky and islands of the beautiful Finnish Archipelago. Consisting of five shots between the Islands Pargas and Nauvo, the film explores the artist’s interest in our perceptions of time, distance and speed in relation to memory, technology and human scale. Starting in daylight and ending in darkness as the light fades the movement slows to an imperceptible level. Inertial Frame lasts 43 minutes and will be screened on the hour every hour. Also showing is Past Signal.1 a performance to camera work shot in Suomenlinna, Helsinki, playing around with the different properties and speeds of light and sound and As Far As The Eye Can See a series of five wall-based pieces made with a surveyor from Ordnance Survey, plotting the furthest horizon line the artist could see at a 360 Degree turn.
