Hinterland explores the aesthetic boundaries between cinema and digital video. The initial idea was to create ’materialist cinema’ using digital gadgets and apps that imitate retro aesthetics.
Hinterland was made from 3.669 photos of a white table shot with the app Hipstamatic. The titles were shot with another app called 8mm. The sound is from a real 16mm projector.
The term ‘hinterland’ is German and means literally “the land behind”. Hinterland is also used in English with several meanings, all related with spaces that surround or are behind other space.
