Watch Herman Ogdo Hunter's Point SS

There are evenings during autumn on the USA side of Lake Superior when the sun sets at just the right so that solar disk, twilight afterglow, waves, and shoreline all fit in a 16:9 frame. The prospect is wild and natural. No people or automobiles or dwellings interrupt the view. Especially in the case of wall mount flat screen displays, the video concept here is like hanging a poster-size landscape photograph, but one with movement, audio, and image progression.

There is no need to stare at the screen. Without narrative, camera movement, or change of scene, the sunset happens gradually while you are in and out of the room, making conversation, eating a meal, reading, or perhaps knitting a pair of mittens.
