Enduring Portraits 2007

TIME CODE project
Museo d´Arte Moderna di Bologna, Italy

Enduring Portraits (2007) is the portrait of a female face
subjected to slow ageing. Biological evolution takes place
over a different time from the natural one. The artist
samples the faces of two women of different ages filmed
previously, obtaining a series of 40 variations which show
the gradual passing of time. Using Isadora software, the
ageing of a female face is determined by the running time
of the video.

Enduring Portraits was specially created for the
TIME CODE project and the MAMbo exhibition space.

A Dual of Giants 2003

Single channel video, DVD

The video A dual of giants travels through a filmhistoric terrain, by referring to Sadako`s hidden face, in Hideo Nakatas Ring trilogy, the girl in the poltergeist movies, and how the daughter`s death in Nicolas Roeg`s Dont look know ends with catastrophic consequences.

As these references indicate, Sundland is making use of conventions and references from the horror genre, but those are first of all used in order to show the horror in the repetition of genre stereotypes.
