ATARASHI YUME
Beeoff has always had film as very big influence and among the largest influences is David Lynch. When you well know it, in f ex Pseudophobia where they use samples from Lost Highway it's obvious, it's easy to recognize both the mysticism in meaning and in how the images are constructed and composed. In Atarashi Yume, which is "to dream" in Japanese, they wanted to create a narrative and built up five or six different film scenes in different shoe boxes. They used a robot camera that was moving from scene to scene, each move very quickly so you wouldn't see the gaps between the boxes. The camera made the scale and the model disappear and what the camera saw appeared to be reality. One scene was a dark forest, the next outside a large building, then a close up of a window and then inside a bathroom. In total the model was quiet large. The whole installation was about four times four meters and standing in front if it in the studio was as amazing as looking at the monitor connected to the camera and see how the model was transferred. It created a certain mood, not only because of the dark images but also from the threatening music that was composed with the motion of the camera as an input. The idea was to create a narrative that functioned as a dream, where there are funny associations and unexpected and sudden changes and where the narrative jumps from room to room without any obvious logic. Beeoff managed to create something like that, but maybe what they created wasn't the most pleasant of dreams.
