In the wild - I, II & III

I made three tapes/short films a few weeks ago; when I was doing some interventions in the forest.
I've already presented filmstills from the first film, and an edited version of the second one. But it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, and with the third tape I was searching and wondering what to do with it.
But, after watching the raw versions of all films again yesterday, I've decided that the films are much stronger in their raw forms...

The rawness, and also the 'selfdoing' factor in the films work good;
I'm a 'voyeur' of myself, while I'm playing on my own in the forest, like I used to do als a child, making treehouses. Their is also more shame visible in these raw versions, because now they aren't so esthetic/edited, but they just show everything the way it is. The work becomes something that's on the borders of wat art is or should be. I like them better this way. I see now that the playfullness and the rawness, and the do-it-yourself way of filming works best without editing; in pure forms...

So.. Now I'm thinking about the way I want to show them to an audience. I want to keep it intimite, so I'll probably use small screens, instead of beeming the films on a big wall.
It's also interesting to show them all at the same time, on three different screens. Then it'll become sort of an installation with three small screens..
Then I need to think about how I want to place the screens in a certain space. And think about what other materials/stuff/other work I might want to use in the same room, in a dialogue with these movies...
Hmm, I'm gonna play a bit with different settings this week.
