Project description:


 #Ålviktv is a project that was born in Ålvik and actually exists on social networks. It was a social experiment to draw the attention of the local community to the important issue of nature protection, because in Ålvik is one of the biggest factories in Norway, exactly this one produce parts for cars.
 The small sleepy coastal village became a place of unordinary interest for a month. Here appeared the “local television #Ålviktv”, with which I moved around the village, filming the daily life of the locals through the screen of my handmade TV Installation. The TV travelled the streets, descended to the fjord and climbed the mountains, each time recording “extraordinary” changes in the life of the village, which were usually natural phenomena such as sunrise, fog, rain or sunset. Of course, for the locals, these “miracles” were commonplace, but the attention of “television” aroused their curiosity and made them look differently at the place where they live. After all, how can you see a pearl, if you live inside, it can be shown only by those who are outside.
