&lt;p&gt;An experiment of thinking about myself through two parallel perspectives simultaneously, using two cameras directed towards  each other. Instead of thinking in the fixed perspective of  leaving and approaching I use the Lojban (logical language)  term »klama« which in itself doesn't specify from which perspective the movement is defined.

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are proud to present &lt;cite&gt;Falling – Beta Alpha Theta Delta&lt;/cite&gt;, another video by Lina Persson.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;»Falling« is about experiencing one's body and different states of mind. It is the result of a cooperation with dancers and a choreographer. The choreography is based on the movements of starfishes and recorded with motion capture technology. The movements of the different parts of the dancer's body are transformed into a shoal of starfishes, as if starfishes were attached to an invisible dancer. The conception of the body dissolves.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The soundtrack is made out of sound waves that when listened to in headphones are supposed to change the state of the brain from the wake state to the sleep state. The effect of the sounds can only be retained by listening to the soundtrack through headphones, when played with speakers the sound is only a suggestive mood maker.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Date&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;  2006
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Duration&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;  6'
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Dancer&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;  Katja Korpi
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Choreographer&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;  Karen Maria Jonsdottir
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;Motion capture technician&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;  Peter Lundgren
&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Persons subject to any forms of seizures or epilepsy, persons using pacemakers, persons suffering from cardiac arrhythmia or other heart disorders, persons taking stimulants, psychoactive drugs, or tranquilizers &lt;strong&gt;should not listen to this soundtrack in headphones&lt;/strong&gt;.

    <title>With one still camera each testing to think of the camera as a gun, while being filmed.</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://handgranat.org/The_Giver/2006-03-10_Camera"/>

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is both a documentation of one work and is another work in itself. It is a documentation of an experiment of interacting with three cameras and thereby three perspectives and what it does to the self-awareness. It is also an investigation of the camera as a concurring tool, using it in a game usually played with guns, referring to the violence of representation and objectification.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The film is also an attempt to visualize how the different perspectives relate to each other and how still images differ from the moving.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The film is a composite from two still cameras and one DV camera.
&lt;/p&gt;
