Inger Lise Hansen’s film Tåke (Fog) observes the spectacle of fog through several different film- and video formats. The imagery is recorded on location in Oslo, Azores, Beijing and Newfoundland, and reveals how fog as a phenomenon behaves differently on Super-8, 16mm and digital video.

The bright green moss and the city are briefly shrouded in fog. Not only is the image partly obscured, the soundtrack is also a fog of evanescent sounds, attempting to create an auditory fog. It compares the loss of visibility to the loss of audible frequencies.

Inger Lise Hansen (b. 1963) is Norway’s most prominent experimental film maker. Her films have been screened at festivals all over the world and she has been awarded several prizes for her innovative work with stop-motion animation. Unlike most animators, she does not work in the studio, but rather, in the landscape. Her works over the past decade have been shot in a variety of different locations, and each of them presents us with a new perspective on the representation of landscape.

Her most recent work Tåke (Fog) was completed in 2018 and received its premiere at Kunstnernes Hus Kino in Oslo. It has since been presented at several international film festivals and at The Louvre in Paris.

Tåke is made with financial support from Norwegian Film Institute, The Audio and Visual Fund, Arts Council Norway and Norwegian Visual Artists.
