ABOUT THE FILMS:
Davide Hjort Di Fabio, Interphase (7 min):
“the fetters, or in a showery drops anon
dissolve and vanish,
more straitlier clench the clinging bands until
his body’s shape return to that you saw
what more?
when now the golden sun has put winter to headlong fight beneath the world*”

*Virgil, The Georgics, book IV, 29 BC
Filmed inside frozen waterfalls and rivers in Iceland, this video is connected to three ceramic sculptures exposed at the Bachelor exhibition in Festsalen.
In his Bachelor project Davide Hjort Di Fabio researches the pastoral art movement, started over two thousand years ago by the latin poet Virgil, who wrote several collections of poems about young men fleeing Rome in a period of crisis, to become shepherds in the beautiful rural landscapes of Arcadia.
In january 2021, Hjort Di Fabio travelled to Iceland for two months, living an imaginary life as a modern shepherd. With the video “Interphase”, that almost feels like a journey inside a body, Hjort Di Fabio tries to give the pastoral movement a queer voice and a more enviromental perspective, exploring the relationship between internal and external sensitivity.
Theodor Nymark, Det Pittoreske Bæst (37:25 min):
‘The Picturesque Beast’ is a multi-narrative film that follows an anthropomorphic wolf-like figure whose purpose is to capture the sublime nature. Set in two parallel worlds, the early Danish Golden Age (romantic era) and in a not so distant hyper-technological future.

In his studio at Charlottenborg Kunsthal, the young painter Christopher FenDweller – a figure loosely based on the Fenrir wolf of Norse mythology and the Danish Golden Age painter C.W. Eckersberg” – works on mastering the motifs of nature. It’s not going so well. Therefore, he embarks on an educational journey to the island of Møn, where a transformation begins. Ancient folk tales and figures borrowed freely from Norse mythology meet hypermodern high-tech in a lavishly baroque adventure.
