The Breath of Time (2005)        13:00 min/color/sound
This is a musical video inspired by the lost industry in Buffalo, New York, specifically an abandoned grain elevator where some musicians have started to make impromptu music at the site. The structure and the unpretentious quality of the place have unexpectedly revealed the most intimate and spiritual sounds.

In Solitude, a Camera-eye (2006)         04:15 min/color/sound
“It is already dark. The street in an American suburb is quiet. Only a homeless man is not inside and he asks the camerawoman for $.55. Apart from that there is only a specially observed atmosphere. In the second part, Malaysian palm trees stand in the darkness. Far away, fireworks go off.” (written by Gertjan Zuilho)
