INDEPENDENCE DAY
I asked my friends to drive me (blindfolded), and a large mirror to the Baltic Sea coast in East Germany.

I was escorted towards the mirror, where I sat down, removed the blindfold and watched the sea’s reflection in the mirror.
Artist Sissel Mutale Bergh describes her latest film, Elmie (2023) – a Southern Sámi word meaning sky, air and storm – as a documentary poem and a lamentation on air, breath, birds, mountains and wind power. For several years, Bergh has followed the construction of – and opposition to – industrial windfarms at Fovsen/Fosen in the southern district of reindeer herding at ÅerjelFovsen Njaarke Sijte.
