This audio-visual work is intended to evoke imaginary geographies.
The film is made solely from Yokohama-related audio and video found on the web. This material has been manipulated and composed into a suggestive imaginary journey through an estranged landscape.
The film can be downloaded into a media player or mobile phone and enjoyed when walking around the surroundings of Yokohama.

The work deals with questions of media representations and site specificity.
It calls forth the sometimes whirling experiences of elsewhereness that may characterize societies of today.

The work is created for Dislocate08.
