CUNNING IMAGE
A screening with experimental film and video
”Cunning image” is a screening presenting contemporary finnish experimental film and video. The works in the screening share a perspective of pensiveness and conceptuality. They investigate the borderlines in visual observations and cognition, as well as the borderline between still and moving image. They study the difference and connections between text and image. They invite the audience to be seducted by the sensuality and beauty of images. The absurdity and uncontrollability of dreams and delirium, the unstability of memories and the fragility of melancholia are allured into the open via subtle cinematic means.
In Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari the screening will be exhibited as a loop in the video room ”Kulmio” during the next gallery exhibitions. The duration of the loop is approximately 1 hour. The opening is on friday 13th of September at 18:00. Welcome!
