For Peruvian musician Victor Alarcon, the pandemic turned an expedition to film a music video under Aurora Borealis into a two-month self-isolation in Finnish Lapland
I knew my music video [for the title track] had to be under the Northern Lights. So I started saving money, making the contacts, wrote to some film commission here in Finland and asked them if they had any service to record videos. They put me in touch with this company in Lapland. They liked the music, and they agreed, “Let’s do this.” And that’s how I came here. I spent a lot of time recording my music video outdoors in minus-15 degrees Fahrenheit. And it was amazing.
So I postponed my flight for the first time until the April 1st, and unfortunately [the delay] happened [again]: The flight from Rovaniemi to Helsinki was feasible, but the flight to Helsinki to Dusseldorf was not there anymore. Was it worth it? Every single second. I allowed myself to spend two weeks here, because I was told sometimes it could take weeks to see the Northern Lights; some nights there might be a cloudy sky and you won’t see them. When I first arrived here on the 3rd, the producer told me, “We have to go see them tonight, because the whole week is going to be bad weather.” I’m like, “Dammit, I didn’t come all the way here just to not be able to film under the Northern Lights.
first spoke with Alarcon in mid-April; in May, we emailed him to see whether he made it back to Germany. Alarcon — back home and now under quarantine — wrote about his voyage from Rovaniemi to Dusseldorf in the face of travel restrictions.
