| "You end up watching it over and over again until what was supposed to be a short break has turned into an hour. This is in part because the film, made entirely of still images that Kolding's digitally animated together and set to the tune of Broadcast's 'Corporeal,' is visually and sonically cool. But more than that, what makes The Things We Keep so compelling and addictive, is that it explodes with stories." - Kyoung Kim, Assistant Managing Editor of Black Clock. |

THE THINGS WE KEEP
short film produced by christian svanes kolding in USA.
2 minute 00 secs.
now appearing at the museum of modern art in new york.
inspired by the opening credits of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, the film is also informed by ideas such as scientific classification, taxonomy, augmented reality and live-tagging of objects.
the result is a visual survey of a limited number of objects that one keeps from a life in which travel is frequent; gifts, found objects, thrift store purchases, books: souvenirs from a particular time and place. the things that we keep become the constants, objects invested with extra meaning during times of transitions and frequent departures.
this is a stop motion piece made entirely from still images.
best viewed in HD, FULL SCREEN FORMAT.
music: broadcast "corporeal" courtesy of warp records.
