During the making of a one-take-video series that addresses the idea of a sleepless world in its multiple allegoric facets, I wondered a lot about the current state of images. While it is nothing new to discuss the acceleration of the reign of imagery in times of Google, video publicity, Netflix's addictive series as well as Instagram or TikTok's frenzies, many time-based work in the arts replicates it. I had the desire to try something where movement is almost imperceptible: only the light changes, a rabbit passes by, and the wind blows delicately through the trees. Meanwhile, the body changes of posture slightly and landscape becomes more and more visible. This is a 38 min-long video, shot in the Ruhr Area on top of a stockpile during Summer 2021. Stockpiles are hills of industrial wastes, making the landscape something that is and remains restless.
