Jane Hellen's Nightmare

The video shows two women hunting, or perhaps fighting, in the woods at night. The work refers on one hand to a collective, pre-conceived image of the Viking times, establishing relations to the fantasy genre, while on the other hand, the video emphasizes its references to popular culture by using both horror film and black/death metal aesthetics.
