This video shows footage taken by the artist from different moving transports: trains, planes, boats while travelling mostly through a snowy and distant landscape. The final sequence does not follow a particular narrative or chronology but presents instead a journey in a constant state of recurrence, never complete or definite, never arriving; so in many ways, it remains completely still. Taking the position of a traveller who observes the world from the safe distance of an endless wandering, neither here nor there. This new work seeks to confront the fictional and elusive character of home and the exotic.
