Hjelm presents a poetic meditation through a film installation, cinematic objects, and glass sculptures that together unfold into an immersive experience.

In the monumental four-channel film installation, music forms the point of departure. The film guides us through a series of panoramic landscape sequences accompanied by Johann Sebastian Bach’s First and Second Cello Suites, in a new interpretation by the South African classical guitarist Derek Gripper. It is as if the film follows the music, rather than the other way around. In the background, one can also faintly hear a tanpura drone and a long-necked fretless lute — instruments commonly used in Indian classical music. The exhibition also includes a series of glass sculptures with light animations, as well as a cinematic object that contributes to a multidimensional experience.
