The video made in co-operation with the base jumper Espen Fadness,'sense of flying' aims to show the state of mind adopted before making the jump and the freedom given to the individual during the flight. The most enchanting thing about this besides the video itself is how Espen relates that he often dreams of flying 'upwards and outwards' and that his dreams feel as real as the live basejump.

Artist Takashi Kuribayashis' installation allows the viewer to adopt the guise of a burrowing animal by poking out of holes in the constructed ceiling of an apparent snow covered woodland. The construction of paper explores the role of 'nature' in contemporary Asian art. The work is suggestive of fantastical narratives which to the western viewer attests a Narnian, Witch in the Wardrobe premise. A comparison between western and eastern perspectives concerning a metaphysical nature could present a pertinent dialogue in understanding how cultural conditioning can alter our perceptions. Pursuing artworks that suggest an interrelationship with different types of narrative and folklore could offer interesting insights into questioning aspects of the human condition.

The work reflects a practice involved in superimposing said "natural" elements in settings which they are displayed in to increase longevity. The use of LED's in place of insects suggests the celebration of these industrial elements in the same way.
