said to be members of a foreign reporter asked Superflex Rasmus · Nielsen, if someone wanted to go to the toilet during the watch of the modern time forever to do, the modern artist with respect: "want to go! "

in various short films, mobile movies, micro films ascendant when another film morphology of ——— long film has emerged as. In 1978, French Gelal · kuran took out up to 6 days, 12 hours of work of the Cin é Maton, once the highest in the world's largest.

a tribute to the Empire State building?

1964 years July of a afternoon, famous wave General artist Andy · Vohor station in New York Manhattan area Fifth Avenue Shang, through sun rise see with before 102 layer high of empire building, he of 5 a friends carry with beer, and sandwiches, and soda pie, and a Taiwan rent to of camera and a large heap film, drilling empire building opposite "era-life" building 41 layer of Rockefeller Fund Office. Around 8 o'clock that evening, Vohor and friends put the cameras stand by the window, at the Empire State building in the night, turn on the system. Da da da camera to automatism, Andy · Vohor just wine and dine with friends, chat, banter.

6 hours Hou, Vohor announced shooting end, friends were some worry "what also no took to", but subsection on March 6, 2, residential di · Vohor to this heap film named for empire building under, got New York municipal government film Hall open show, people does not know the shouldn't to this stuff called "film", because in up to 485 minutes of show time within, apart from film Shang of some is zoned trace, and Vohor 5 times shake had of figure zhiwai, people see of only in night in the motionless, and no changes of empire building, this order those every day after empire building of "New York Guest" were love why can?

returned to March 2011, Superflex artist were from Denmark on Finland of land, to camera frame in sidaola · Stora Enso office building before, a took is full 10 days Shi, at first glance a see to, they of did and 47 years Qian of residential di · Vohor almost exactly —— no story, and plot and starring, lens alignment a building building, scene and screen continued does not variable, regardless of Superflex is has intention empire building under tribute, but residential di · Vohor absolute is these young younger generation of "deity".

art, is also ironic?

Superflex troupe team and no indicates that modern time forever under of purposes, is play this Department film of Helsinki Festival hosted party to has a full artistry of explained: "to Shang century of time compression in one film in, records has time in sidaola · Stora Enso office building left of traces", and why select sidaola · Stora Enso office building as shooting object, hosted party of saying more like a advertising: "sidaola · Stora Enso office building is located in Finland capital HelsinkiCenter, which is our landmark building, is also a symbol of power and history. "

these sentences for you both to praise the Superflex troupe and Helsinki had a clever publicity —— it's a 240-hour long movie! Pictures of our Finland "home site"! Best of all is that it will be in sidaola · Stora Enso office building on the big screen show, one is a full ten days, only this time should not be missed, come to Finland and see it!

however, organizers say, is not necessarily the Superflex troupe's real intention. It is reported that the team is famous for shooting irony works, who can certainly, a part of the modern time forever is not their mockery of it? Imagine, for 10 days, often old, static pictures, who had moved to the bench put it all down, that's strange.
