Year of the Dragon - Waving (A & B)
Arlander Annette
Wrapped in a green scarf, I call the dragon by waving a green ribbon tied to a stick during the year of the dragon (except in the summer) on Harakka Island. In part A I am standing on the panorama hill facing south. In part B I am standing on the roof of the bunker facing north. The video was recorded on Harakka Island from the panorama hill towards the bunker and from the roof of the bunker towards the panorama hill between February 4, 2012 and February 3, 2013. A two-channel installation version of the work, 50 min. 13 sec, is also available.
