The shore of the mountain lake is shown in time-lapse images of one full day, from early morning darkness to nightfall, comprised into 4 minutes. Using animation technique, the reverse image is added, so the mirrored landscape changes position with the real at about three-quarters of the movie. From there, the next sequence starts in mirrored mode until it is swapped into its original mode. This way, the images are shown in endless succession. The landscape and its mirrored image are tilted 90 degrees, so 'form and landscape are interwoven in a poetic, abstract experience'. Written by Peter van Cooten See less
