Fedje video, 3:33 min, Norway, 2012, sound by Uli Kürner above: still images Fedje is a picturesque island northwest of Bergen. Like other islands on the Norwegian coast it housed a German military base in WW II of which one is reminded by derelic concrete structures that run all the way from the main road down to the ocean. About 4 km straight ahead from the place where the series of concrete ruins hits the shoreline, the reason lies aground why Fedje is still affected by consequences of the war today. The work was realised during an Artist Residency at USF Verftet, Bergen, and supported by the Norwegian German Willy Brandt Foundation > view video on vimeo < overview works |
