This film combines screenprinted 16mm film with footage of the Oslo Fjord and the Nordmarka wilderness, north of Oslo. Video elements depicting everyday interactions with modern technology and cyberspace are assembled from digital snippets captured on an iPhone, then screenprinted onto film. These screenprinted overlays are placed onto untouched forest and fjord landscapes, free from human presence. The title plays on Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, inspired by a childhood fascination with escaping into pure, unspoiled nature. The film seeks to depict an idyllic, romanticized landscape subtly disrupted by elements of modern life.
