Columbus


KENT'S STUNNING VIDEO Columbus features two leading "actors":   1) the city  2) the lighting. Urban lighting permeates the scene and oozes from every pore. It enhances movement and somehow creates this feel of loneliness in a crowd. It's very Scandinavian, it's very human. It's universal. 

Personally, I adore this time of day, when the city lights are on and people are rushing somewhere in the darkness lit only by the moon, the stars and the lamps. Everyone has a secret: the faces are not exposed and you can conceal your real self and be a bit of someone else. And your Daddy is holding your hand and telling you of constellations while you're going home from his theatre performance...
