I am Unquenchable

Unending loop of children being lowered into a dark mining shaft. In place of a narrators voice-over, the video is accompanied by a live reading of quotes from various texts incorporated into a letter. The original letter is written by a coalminer who was blacklisted after taking part in a strike at the mine. The miner was forced to emigrate to America in order to find a new job. His letter is addressed to a son who was born after he left, to be read when the child is old enough to understand: ”Light an unquenchable flame against all the tyranny of this world”.. 

Concept and art by Kalle Brolin, cinematography and VFX by Alexander Germundsson.
