Calling the Dragon 1-4 (Bell)
Arlander Annette
I call the dragon by ringing a bell on the roof of the bunker on Harakka Island once a week for a year in such a way that only the sound of the bell is heard, in four directions: 1) facing North, 2) facing East, 3) facing South, and 4) facing West. The video was recorded in four parts, in four directions from the roof of the bunker in the southern part of Harakka Island, approximately once a week between February 4, 2012 and February 3, 2013. The four parts of the work can be shown in sequence or individually.
