This state
1.4.-16.4.2017
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari – Pikkujätkä
The exhibition is open as usual over the Easter holidays.
The animation This State studies extreme exhaustion: the nights, days and the hours in which weariness fills the room with grey. It looks at the boundaries and observes the cracks in the surfaces between the states of staying together and breaking down, between sleep and sleeplesness. These borderlines are where the crippling fatigue meets the confusing and incoherent thoughts and the expectations of parenthood.
The piece draws a visible picture of the foggy reality inside people’s homes and brings to light the experience which often remains invisible because of it’s private nature.
This State is made using a combinination of drawing, video image and animation in several superimposed moving layers. In Pikkujätkä Gallery the piece is displayed as a single-channel projection.
The exhibition has been supported by Kari Mattilan Säätiö Foundation and The Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
