Halvklart
The video Halvklart draws inspiration from imagery and body gestures associated with televised weather forecasting. In it, many types of weather coexist simultaneously. A collage of spawning symbols, scans of snow piles, audio jingles, IR satellite imagery, rain, snow, and wind come together, accompanied by disjointed characters acting as weather presenters. "Halvklart" delves into the human desire and need to predict and exert control over external circumstances, and the difficulties in doing so. Its title is a Swedish weather term meaning "partly clear/cloudy."
