Recital present its first ever Blu-Ray edition,
Eric Andersen
's
Margrethe Fjorden
. Produced in 1996 by Fluxus artist Eric Andersen, the citywide Intermedia event included performances from
Alice Damas
,
Willem de Ridder
,
Larry Miller
, and other artists from around the world. Inspired by the mysterious tale of
Queen Margrethe the First
(1353-1412), the multi-sensory event was comprised of three major themes: Union, Woman, and Faith. Over four hours of video is presented, from a full organ concert held in the Roskilde Cathedral, replete with models on stilts and toy frogs hopping through the pews, to a helicopter "air ballet" dancing over the water at night. The whole town became the stage for the three performance evenings. The immersive handheld footage flows between the circus-like events, navigating the streets, spilling between events. A surreal home-movie quality. The original press release reads: "
Margrethe Fjorden
is everything; its near and far, quiet and violent. It smells, its wet, burning and at times foreign and disturbing. Often it feels secure and humorous. There will be live sheep, a child birth, a car crash, window-washers, wheelchairs and trekkers. People will unite and separate again. A world of conception where the audience enters another reality..." Also included with the Blu-Ray is a curated audio-CD with six elements from the videos, beginning with the entire Eric Andersen organ concert performed by
Yuzuru Hiranaka
, and ending with the "A piacere (Fog Drifts Across the Meadow)" by
Ib Nørholm
and Eric Andersen; a 100+ person choir positioned on the Roskilde Fjord with a solitary amplified flutist performing from a small boat. Blu-Ray discs are region-free data discs (complete with menus), and can play on any BluRay player. Includes 36-page pamphlet, red satin fabric; also includes digital download for audio and private links for streaming the videos online.
