Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone

‘Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone’ is an uncanny composition of familiar settings; transporting you from dusty attics to ornate wedding venues and beyond. By animating vacant spaces, Hjermind turns backgrounds into main characters. The video questions how architectural structures can have personalities and how interiors might demand a certain behaviour. It brings to mind both surveillance footage and landscape paintings. The viewer is invited to linger in liminal space, while experiencing the hierarchy between spectator, space and screen slowly dissolving. Who is watching whom?

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
