Distant Metal

A Landscape Musical

Work in process, Studio Saint Remy, 2024

As night settles slowly over the land, a skinny dog moves carefully through the tall grass, its pointed head fixed on the horizon. In the distance, a flock of birds settles on the crossbeams of the electricity poles. Below, the treeline, and further down on the ground, three figures, pouring jugs of fuel into a power generator.

A landscape musical, beneath the open sky—whether in an abandoned parking lot, a field behind the local bar, or at the edge of a vast forest. At the heart of this project is a watching device, designed as black traveling tent, reminiscent of a camera from the early days of cinema. Inside, the audience, and a window-like frame, offering a view of the outside world; a band is preparing for their upcoming show while nature is doing its thing.

In collaboration with: Amos and Yoel Peled, Lilla Roma Weisellberg, Horror Rimer and Maarten Keus
