First performances
Premiere on 26 October 1995 at Tycho Brahe Planetarium, Copenhagen, Denmark

DUST WOW! DUST is an interlacing pattern of film, music, song, and speech using words as pictures and pictures as film, in both a very big, and very small format. lt is a multitudinous composition of moving pictures, light drawings and colour planes, with voices and sounds as accompaniment.

In the performance DUST WOW! DUST, Hotel Pro Forma used a new scenic space and a new form of media: The Planetarium and the omnimax film. The new performance had been created for the curved, dome-shaped room, with its special projection style and surround sound.

The shape of the room and the big format of the film itself, which almost encircled the audience, appealed to a form of picturial communication that was different to epic narration. Because of this, Hotel Pro Forma’s film developed its own visual language. The film opened a ‘fictive picture’ room that became another magnified reality, not by copying reality but by enlarging unidentified structures of the existing world.
The film worked on the senses and perceptions, and the usual reading of reality was displaced.

Picture sequences was composed as a rhythmical play between light and darkness, structure and expanse, movement and stagnation. The film was a hornmage to the senses. lt was the world’s first omnimax art movie, specially produced for an omnimax theatre and for the performance DUST WOW! DUST.


Danish
DUST [WAU!] STØV
En forestilling om det naturlige og det overnaturlige fænomener
1995

DUST [WAU!] STØV er et fletværk af film, musik, sang og tale, af ord som billedkilde og billede som film i meget stort og meget lille format. En mangfoldig komposition af lystegninger, filmbilleder og farveflader akkompagneret af stemmer og klang.

Hotel Pro Forma indtog med forestillingen et nyt rum og et nyt medie: Tycho Brahe Planetariet og filmformatet Omnimax. Forestillingen var skabt til rummet med den hvælvede kuppel og den specielle filmprojektion. Forestillingens lyd- og billedvirkninger udnyttede Planetariets hjørneløse rum og den omfattende surroundlyd

Hidtil havde kun dokumentariske og naturvidenskabelige produktioner været vist i Planetariet. Hotel Pro Formas film i omnimaxformat åbnede for et fiktivt billedrum, der netop ved ikke at efterligne den virkelige verden, blev til en ny, forstørret virkelighed.

Filmens storformat, der omgav tilskuerne på tre sider, appellerede til en skulpturel billedfortælling snarere end den episke fortællestil.
For første gang blev det store filmformat brugt til at udforske billede og bevægelse som et sansende sprog fritaget for filmens kendte dramaturgi. Knapt genkendelige billeder komponeredes som rytmiske forløb mellem lys og mørke, struktur og flade, bevægelse og stilstand. En film til minde om sansningen k u n n e man kalde denne film, som var verdens første omnimax kunstfilm specielt produceret til forestillingen DUST [WAU!] STØV.
