Duration: 6’16

‘memories in the present past’ is a music video for the hungarian artist Alley Catss. The video material is sourced from unused footage of the short documentary ‘freedom in the present past’, directed by Daniel Hüttler, Pille-Riin Jaik, Klaus Rabeder and Janina Weißengruber, which explores the history of four family houses in Austria, Hungary and Estonia. Here, the footage is manipulated using the video synthesizer ‘Hydra’ to make the images flow seamlessly in and out of each other and follow the hypnagogic feel of the music.
