Kirkebø works with drawings, video and book and they are all connected through the act of drawing. In his larger cityscapes there is no real plan beforehand on how it will turn out, the process is open. Instead there is an investigation into the potential of the drawn lines, the shapes they create. Through this process architectural structures and pathways arise, creating labyrinth-like cityscapes where everything in interconnected. Repetition and slowness are common themes for both for the work process and the tone of the works.

About Line Rhythm
In the works Line Rhythm, the focus is on the drawn line. Here he has taken lines and formations thathas been found in architecture, both in the city space and interior, and explored their potential for mobility through animation. By introducing systems and rules that determine how the line should move, Kirkebø create a framework within which he must work. This means that he do not wholly control the work, it gives space for the unpredictable. The rules, for example, determine the direction in which lines may move, at what speed, and what happens when two lines encounter each other. There is no preset, defined action. The stream of action arises through an intuitive process, where each drawn frame potentially can steer the film in a new direction. He scrutinize the lines in search of new formations that may be explored and set in motion in the borderland between the flat and spatial.
