1. svevedikt ("poetry floating in the air")

   "svevedikt" ("poetry floating in the air") consists of seven parts, each in a loop. Every poem is created out of Norwegian words, fixed in the same position all through the animation, but exposed in different degrees. Each poem starts up exposing a few letters. The number of letters is increasing until all of them are seen. Then the number of letters is reduced in a new way. The words are selected in a non-semantic way, and each viewer will experience this differently. Both the images and the sound of the letters when read are important for the experience. The positions of the words have much in common with how the poet made concrete poetry in the sixties.

5. Meditationer omkring et o ('Meditations around an o')

   Den norske digter Ottar Ormstads svevedikt er i sagens natur ikke for fastholdere. "Fnugget svæver i luften" står der i Nudansk Ordbog under ordet svæve. Eksemplet er i selskab med ord som "danserinde", "smil", "uunderbygget påstand" og "vag". Hvordan læser man overhovedet digte, der svæver? Når fnugget ikke kan fanges, danserindens bevægelse aldrig fikseres, smilet ikke afkodes. Digte, der bliver ved med at svæve, kompletteres aldrig. Enhver læsning må derfor også kuldsejle. Ligesom digtene kuldsejler. Men alligevel fortsætter. Som foranderlige former, lyde og betydninger. Ud i alle retninger.
