Images from a Diary of Waiting

It's spooky here, you have to say, the Burgenland Project. However, the snowy greenish night-vision images created by recruits stationed on the border between Austria and Hungary are not on a search for some wood witch, and the infrared gaze doesn't capture "illegal border crossers". The soldiers are shooting a film in the eternal ice of a Burgenland winter, with video camera and cell phone, making images of each other getting bored and acting childish. Judith Zdesar engineered and arranged the images, interspersing them with a few topographic tableaus.
