of Information consist of two interrelated parts. The video-composition
is a registration of books in the first public library of Sweden. It shows
a flow of colours, created by a travel shot at different speed and distance
alongside the books. The second part is a real time registration of the
space visited. As one walks across the library he encounters a shelf in
which 3 monitors are placed between the books. 2 of them show the travel
shot - a similar experience as the visitor just had. The 3th one shows a
general view - an different view on the present situation and thus forcing
the visitor to be more present. The work is an invitation to think about
information and space. The library has been choosen for its public character
and its information gathering function. The information is accessible to
everyone but the experience and interpretation of it will vary. The amount
of books makes it impossible to acces to all of them. The multitude leads
to blurryness. The possibility of taking books home breaks the limits imposed
by the cylindric building. The taking home implies the ----- of other spaces
- being here is also being somewhere else. The structure of the present
and its features disappear.
