29025 Eveningside Drive (2007)





"29025 Eveningside Drive" is a video made in collaboration between Katrin

Hornek and Stine Marie Jacobsen that deals with the banality and uncannyness

of everyday life in a surburban uniform housing area. Two neighbors meet

eachother at their empty mailboxes and say 'hello'. They walk simultaniously

through their houses and at the same time discover that the other is in the

house. They both walk to where they saw the other, only to discover that

the other is still in her own backyard. After this confrontation everything

becomes backwards and the two neighbors walk the same route backwards

until they again meet each other at the empty mailbox and say 'olleh'.

The scene is in an endless loop reminding one of the Sisyphus myth.



The video is a comment on architecture as a dominant and powerful structure

and looks at the different aspects of spatial constructed conditions and thereby

autonomous and independent structures.
