Defenestrator



Defenestrator
2008, HD 720p (Apple Prores Quicktime), 16:9, 8:30 min, Stereo

A spectacle of grandiose spaces, monumental halls and majestic architecture. Defenestrator shows Larger-than life buildings disintegrate, deform and transform into a flowing stream of lava, creating new distorted spaces and recycles overpowering architectural constructions into building blocks of a new order.

2008, HD 720p (Apple Prores Quicktime), 16:9, 6:30 min, Stereo

A minimal and profound study of abstract space, architecture and morality. A room is scanned from the inside and the outside by particles drifting along fixed threedimensional coordinates. The soundtrack is an interpretation of the prison blues traditional No More My Lord.

Appetite For Construction



Appetite For Construction
2008, HD 720p (Apple Prores Quicktime), 16:9, 7:00 min, Stereo

Commissioned by the Helsinki City Art Museum, Appetite for Construction takes modernist painting, constructivism and abstract expressionism as its inspiration. A completely abstract video, Appetite draws connections from modernist ideals to the visual language of Pink Twins’ digitally generated moving image. From systematic constructions to explosions of colour and form, the video celebrates light, form, colour and function, all rendered in glorious chaotic 3D!

Sketches of Pain



Sketches of Pain
2008, Uncompressed (PAL Quicktime 720x576), 16:9, 24:01 min, Stereo
Music performed by Pink Twins & Zugeer L, live at Chameleon Disco Club, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, 24 August 2006

In August 2006 Pink Twins played in Mongolia’s oldest disco (Chameleon Disco Club in Ulaanbaatar) together with a local metal band Zugeer L. Sketches of Pain is based on the footage of the concert. Rather than a direct documentary, the video is a psychedelic treatment, a re-interpretation of a meeting of people and artists with little in common other than music. What happens when artists of different cultural background, different language and different musical conventions take the stage together? Achieving a meeting point unavoidably involves great pain.

Pulse + is an updated version of the 2006 video "Pulse".
Pulse + is a reconstruction of a natural phenomenon. A satellite photo of a Siberian glacier is transformed through 3D animation and digital manipulation into an ice storm, raging to the rhythm of a regular pulse. The multidimensional work consists of found footage layers and parallel rhythms. The chaos of the nature is harnessed to a rhythm and format that is easier to grasp by a human being.

A spatial study, based on the 2003 video "Goth". Original images from a particle accelerator laboratory are fused into a steady, slowly transforming landscape. Distanced from its technical origins, through digital manipulation, the image surface is dissolved and reformed into an earth-toned organic space, seemingly desolate, but swarming with life.

An abstract sci-fi epic, where satellite photos from the surface of planet earth are reformed into a hypnotic cosmic stream. A static, frozen, transforming and moving space in which matter, light and colour is interleaved with the darkness of the void to create a new universe.

A journey into the depths of a landscape. It delves deeply into the secrets of basic particles of digital moving image. A single satellite photo of a glacier is transformed into whirls of motion, resembling natural phenomena, blizzards, storms, rain. All this is fixed into a steady pulsing rhythm, allowing change and tranformation be woven into a static continuity.

A macrocosmos of interleaving streams of colour, a digital mass of endlessly transforming surface. Created from satellite photos and transformed into a richly detailed, multilayered landscape, the static motion of Splitter creates a sacramental space that carries the layers of our perception and conciousness.

"Box" is based on photographs from Tunguska, Siberia, where a large area of land was destroyed when a huge meteorite exploded above ground in 1908. The video is a slow composition, where landscape images go through several stages of transformation. The video material which was further developed into "Box" was originally made for a stage version of Stalker by the Strugatski brothers, produced by Circus Maximus at Helsinki City Theater.

"An overwhelming epic about the relations of people, nature and technology. Full of ritual and trance-inducing signs, Purple Drain plumbs the depths of image distortion. Dizzy images of wires and machines are atomized, pixellated and turned into multicoloured washes, lines and blooming streams of colour."
