Folksong

A small preface - The video ends quite abruptly. There's about 15 minutes of black at the end. The final credits didn't quite work out. I will be uploading the new version early next week. I'd love your feedback. This is some of my first footage. I wanted to show it because I think that the icelandic artist, Ragnar Kjartansson, has a very unique take on the 'landscape portrait.' He played/posed from 11-5 for 10 days consecutively. Instead of the classic, "nature mort," the French translation of "still life," (which actually translates to "dead life/nature"), he portrays a living painting, a "tableau vivant."
