- DirectorNatalie SutinenThe short art film HÉRON - fragrance of violence is a dreamy and soft visual flow. In the film we keep looking back to a doll house, a lake - and a woman who either fiddle with different objects, are being transformed into children or is found lifeless in a burned down forest, or half buried in sand. The woman covers the doll house using a blue cloth, a veil of oblivion covering the landscape of childhood. We also see humans wearing animal masks in the deep forest, people with bird heads, large mirrors in small rooms; the film shifts in scale and perspective, reminiscent of classical surrealism. The scenes form an evocative string of pearls, having no order, as in dreams (and in nightmares). HÉRON - fragrance of violence is an art film. In my art I work with illusions of large and small, inside and outside, and in the film I use myself as a sort of Alice in Wonderland, and I play with time. My vision is to make film that plays with the idea that everything that happens happens at the same time. Is time a fundamental part of the universe, does it exist independently from us humans or is it an intellectual construction - not existing by itself, but created by humankind?
