​Frilufstliv; connecting to the more than human world (Gelter H, 2000)
A beautiful example of 'immersing' body and mind into a vast natural landscape.......These skaters have embraced the elements and are experiencing the aesthetics of nature; connecting to the landscape on a physical and mental level. By skating on the ice they harness the ice in order to travel larger distances than walking through the landscape. This short film only captures an imagined experience of how it might feel to actually be there. In being there the sheer physical aspect of cutting through the ice, feeling the wind on your face and breathing in the environment must be the most exhilarating and thought provoking experience! 
​In the final part of the video (1.53 mins) in order for the skaters to stop their incision in the ice is visually evident. It seems to validate their presence; their physical intervention with the landscape.
