Abandoned Cities
Images of decaying architecture and sculpture that Sylvarnes made in his studio with miniatures and a digital camera pose as documentary photographs of a past that seems to be slipping away. Slowly pulsating digital manipulation of color, combined with an entrancing soundtrack that incorporates and splices into an eternal return the vocals of the famed tenor of the '40's and '50's, Jussi Björling, create a beautiful meditation on the past, present, and future.
