He stopped people out on the streets and took house on some, he was brought food and people checked on him. The whole journey was filmed, by Arne, and the project is an example of his engagement and interest in the arctic human. In the past month Arne has parked his motorhome by the boarder of Russia and Norway. HIGH NOON is a continuation of this work, and this summer Holm will take the motorhome to Harstad to lead debates with guests from the fields of art, research and politics.
