The End Time
“What happens if you get used to the End Time? If you start to think of it as normal? Will the world be too slow for us?”
“The End Time” was developed for the exhibition Spectral Afterlives at Sprengel Museum Hannover on occasion of the publication of “Spectral Afterlives – Bjørn Melhus and his Media Doubles” with an essay by Elisabeth Bronfen. The focus of the 4-channel video installation is a fictional “Dorothy”. In dreamlike episodes，she recites quotations from the film “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) and the television series “China Beach” (1988-1991) against the background of the Central Vietnamese jungle and in opposition to an overbearing moon. Melhus refers to two events, the 1969 moon landing and the Vietnam War (1955-1975)，which received worldwide media attention.
