No Invasion
For his video poem Dwayne Jahn created almost black and white pencil drawings in 16:9 format while he was thinking about the text. The poem starts out with a sense of uncertainty yet goes on describing inspirational themes.
He then photographed the drawings for editing with his video producer. She saw the lines, strings came to mind, a double bass quartet pulling their's in rotation, each player the same 3 tones. Improvised music with improvised abstract drawings going very well together for Dwayne's video poem which wants to be read in orange lettering.
