The Imagic
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari – Pikkujätkä
18.11. – 3.12.2017
The Imagic connects Sami poetry to the on-going climate change in the Northern Europe. This video work can also be seen as a kinetic meditation about the landscapes of the Arctic. The Imagic consists super 8mm film and archive material, those two materials become as one by the sound design of Pekka Aikio.
