Žena srednjih godina se pentra po ledu sama, u sred nedođije...MOLIM?

 

Gone North je dokumentarac o jednom takvom događaju, i mnogo više. Zašto bi fina gradska devojka iz dobre porodice želela da smrzava pozadinu spavajući u šatoru, bez tuša, hraneći se nudlama pet nedelja? Šta je to tako primamljivo u udaljenim divljinama? Zašto tražimo samoću? Zašto pentranje po ledu ima više smisla od pentranja po lestvicama u karijeri? Ne znam odgovore na sva ova pitanja, ali ću snimiti svoje putovanje dok pokušavam da iznađem odgovore na neka od njih u arktičkoj norveškoj.

 

Nakon dve decenije radeći (skoro) sve po propisu, morala sam priznati da to meni nema mnogo smisla. To loše govori o propisima, uzevši u obzir da sam bila dobro plaćena za svoje stručne sposobnosti analiziranja nepoznatih zakona prirode. I bila sam prilično uspešna u tome....

 

Dok tražim alternative, živim jednostavan život i istražujem ono što inspiriše i mene i druge. Jedna od tih inspiracija je u planinama.

 

Lofotens u norveškoj je dom poslednjoj netaknutoj planini u evropi. Mesto koje sam želela da posetim još od dvanaeste godine, kada sam pročitala prvu pripovetku knuta hamsuna. Sada, konačno, imam vremena i dovoljno novca da to ostvarim i podelim iskustvo s vama kroz dokumentarac Gone North koji ću snimiti u procesu.

A middle-aged woman, climbing ice solo, in the middle of nowhere... WHAT?!

 

Gone North is a documentary about just such an occurrence, and alot more. Why would a nice city girl from good family want to freeze herbackside sleeping in a tent, without a shower, eating ramen noodles for 5weeks? What is so compelling about remote wilderness? Why do we seek solitude?Why does climbing ice make more sense than climbing career ladders? I don’tquite know the answers to these questions, but I will film my journey as I tryto make sense of some of them in the Arctic Norway.

 

After two decades of doing (almost) everything ‘by the book’, I had to admitit did not make sense to me. That speaks poorly of ‘the book’, considering thatI used to be paid a lot for the expert analytical ability to make sense of themost inscrutable laws of nature, and I was quite successful at it...

 

While I’m looking for alternatives, I live a very simple life and engage inexploration of that which inspires, both me and others. One of theinspirations comes from the mountains.

 

Lofotens in Norway is the home of thelast unspoiled mountains in Europe, the place I have longed to explore since I was 12—the time I read my first Knut Hamsun novel. Now I finally have the time,if not enough funds, to make that happen and share it with you through the documentary Gone North I will film in the process.

Ovo nije putovanje motorom ali mislim da je vredno pažnje i poštovanja. Vesna Damljanović je upravo sada na aerodromu u amsterdamu gde čeka let za oslo. Avantura je počela.

 

 

U svom blogu između ostalog piše i zašto u ovu avanturu idesama: http://gonenorth.weebly.com/whysolo.html

"Snow snow and more snow -- that about sums it up! But it's the 2nd day of sun and cold nights now and in a day or two I might make it up my 'project'!! It tops out at the red arrow... I won't say more except that it includes a fat ice start and a lot of zig-zagging and hopefully all of the loose snow will have avalanched by then (it's been doing it profusely over the last 4 days)..."
