The Film
The takes for this video were made on the final day of the last millennium, on new year’s eve 1999. While preparing for the big New Year’s celebration, Lange became aware of the fact that people in the hotel rooms across from her house, all were doing the same thing. In the background Radio NRK P3 was continuously playing Motorpsycho’s Vortex Surfer, as a countdown for the new millennium.
