Plot
Digital animation brings to life drawings of the northern lights created in 1839 by French graphic artist Louis Bévalet in the Alta region in Sápmi, Northern Norway. Multiplying curves mark infinite spaces penetrated by the hypnotic yoiking of homeless spirits – Vuoiŋŋat – performed by indigenous Sami musician Ánnámáret, accompanied by carelian bowed lyre and electronic music.
