Five minutes of Norwegian girls walking that somehow becomes a Munch painting in motion.
I walked around Trondheim, shooting this and that, and at one point I saw these girls walking across a little footbridge. After I got the shot of them, I spent a little time trying to imagine what they might have seen on their little walk. This is the result. I don't know if it was the light, or the architecture, but I was reminded of Edvard Munch's paintings and graphics, and decided this was a modest electronic homage to him. (Jon Jost)

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jost shot this on a consumer DV camera, proving gear means nothing when vision is everything.
Munch's work was deeply influenced by his time in Trondheim—Jost accidentally (or not) walked through the artist's psychic geography.
