the cuckoo’s nest
The Avian Kingdom- Harlösa
SWEDEN
Year : May 2017
Length : 27min
Format : 4K ProRes 422 HQ
Synopsis
In 1644 a resistance nest was built by defenseless farmers against the Swedish army approaching from the North. 700 civilists were executed and their dead bodies were thrown into a valley in Harlösa. Since they were never burried, their traces can be found until today.
Denmark lost the historical province Scania to Sweden in 1648 with the end of the Thirty Years' War, one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history.
In the following decades the Danish so-called “Snapphanars“ kept resistance as guerilla fighters against the Sweds. If one was caught, exucution was done by breaking wheel or impalement.
The two colors of the flag of Scania remind of the connection to Denmark and its belonging to Sweden. It has been kept in remembrance by the locals.

ERROR
Berlin GERMANY
Year : 2012
Length : 11 min
Format : HD
Synopsis
‘’Error’’ by Shingo Yoshida focuses on a glitch in a streetlamp at Alexanderpatz, the rhythmic flickering appears almost to be staged; This malfunction, those moments when the lights turn off, mark its presence. It paradoxically shows itself only as it suddenly disappears.
Yoshida relates this curious public incident, that occurs night after night just outside his studio, to a silent personal reflection of one’s own alienated presence amidst an urban setting, where an overwhelming network of functionality attempts to guide us so that we do not have to grope in the dark.
However, this ultimately shrouds a latent frailty and absurdity that flashes like a pleading morse code, yet goes unnoticed and almost forgotten. By screening his reaction to this phenomenon on his studio window Yoshida opens up a dialogue between the two objects,the lamp and its representation, drawing our attention to these frailties.

Length : 13 min 49 sec
Format : 4K ProRes 422 HQ

Synopsis
Svalbard - Longyearbyen, Norway’s latitude is 78 N̊ orth. The Eternal ice land.
In pursuit of The Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
It is a long-term seed storage facility, built to stand the test of time — and the challenge of natural or man-made disasters.
The Seed Vault represents the world’s largest collection of crop diversity.
What I think in front of the Wilderness. Rechecking myself, nostalgia, memoirs, living in the past and sketching the future, between the mind and non-mind, escaping from weakness. Leaving things undone. How to not Think. Hearing images.

SOS Morse code – Fernsehturm
Berlin GERMANY
Year : 30 April 2010
Length : 4 minutes 42 seconds
Sound : No
Format : HD
Performance : Shingo Yoshida
Special thanks : Philip Vormwald
Synopsis
Shingo Yoshida’s video SOS Morse code – Fernsehturmengages the subject of communication codes with an absurd stunt at Berlin’s iconic TV Tower, a “futuristic” reminder of East German optimism and an inescapable symbol of the unified city. Just before closing and from inside the dark, empty lounge located in the giant sphere suspended high above the city, Yoshida employed an existing table lamp to flash out a forlorn SOS. The video documentation of this performance attains a melancholic, even existential grandeur at once personal and universal by presenting both a dramatic intent and a negligible effect.
