The starting point of the video installation devised by Cogitore is based on two unexplained phenomena having physical origins: the supposed perception of sounds emitted by the Northern Lights, and the appearance of a mysterious luminous object in Alaska. In both cases, superstitions and the Inuit and Saami belief systems have disturbed the quest for scientific explanations. Stratospheric images, reflected on the ground, are melded with a dispersion in the darkened space of a polyglot voice and celestial music, composed by Francesco Filidei and Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch, leading to both a loss of spatial markers, and a disturbance of the senses.

Director
Clément Cogitore
Young master of the visual arts, Clément Cogitore dominates the fusion of film, photography and experimental video-art. Exploring the idea of collective memory, his work questions our relationship with our own images and representations by bringing to life the intersection of cinematic expression with forms of contemporary art. Among numerous distinctions, Cogitore saw his first feature film Neither heaven nor earth (2015) selected to be screened at the International Critics' Week in Cannes, received the prestigious Marcel Duchamp award in 2018 and has had his work exhibited in venues such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and MoMA in New York. His latest film, Goute d'Or, was present at the Cannes 2022 Festival.
