THE FIFTY ELEVEN PROJECT
[trailer]
OFFICIAL WEBSITE
The visuals for the two-hour-long ambient album composed by Kasper Bjørke Quartet: The Fifty Eleven Project is written & directed by the acclaimed director and visual artist Justin Tyler Close.
Reflecting on Bjørke’s own experiences, the 11 chapters visualize one man’s journey through a dream state, where he is confronted with the uncertainty and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis. Feeling betrayed by his own body, our lead (played by Danish performance artistKristján Ingimarsson) builds a machine as an attempt to heal himself. Whilst in the machine, we navigate through time; visiting both his child-self, his elder-self and his-lover who plays the role of ‘Mother Nature’(performed by Batsheva Dance Company Alumni, Bobbi Jene Smith).
Through the visually striking series of films, we explore death, rebirth, and passion for a re-connection with our planet. All films screen simultaneously as a multi-screen video installation; 11 films on 11 screens with the 11 compositions from The Fifty Eleven Project album as the soundtrack.
