IN THE OPEN (IM FREIEN) Tittelen "In the open" skal tolkes bokstavelig, kameraet viser oss detaljene i et goldt, urørt landskap som brukes som et lerret der det filmatiske apparaturet utforskes, og der cinematisk rom, tid og bevegelse (de)konstrueres. The title "In the open" should be taken literally as the camera turns to details of a barren, untouched landscape which serves as a projection surface for exploring the cinematic apparatus, and (de)constructing cinematic space, time, and movement.
