ENERGY EFFECT / KRAFTERS PÅVERKAN, 2005
a permanent video installation at Karolinska University Hospital,
Stockholm
View a video-clip from inside the pneumatic
pipeline.
Pipeline, a video piece that brings the viewer on an uncharted journey through a pneumatic pipeline system. This pneumatic pipeline system runs by more than ten kilometres through the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. My basic interest was to be able to see the unseen, the speed and way of the transports in such an ancient technical system. To view the idea of moving.
A capsule was modified to transport the video camera in order to capture the movement and sound of the capsule, as it navigates through the system.
In the waiting room by the physiotherapy two monitors are running both a 15 minutes long version of the journey inside the pneumatic pipeline and a 2 minutes clip of birds that juggle with branches from a BBC nature documentary. Small changes was made to the wall colour making shadows and a spatial place for the monitors to share with the patients.
