Video and photo installation and parallel performance.
Obscure sorrows is a work about living and being together with different natural places.
The video work and the photographs in the gallery space include moments of togetherness with, among others, the ice of the Pikkuvaara pond, the rowan tree in Kuusiluoto, the holm oak in Pahalakso and the field in Pikkujoki.
In these ritualistic encounters, the artists listened to the Mala Mountains, experienced the whistle of a white-tailed deer, danced on the pebbles of the shore of Lake Kilpisjärvi and were sometimes stopped by a snowstorm or gusts of wind.
In these moments they wondered when the mink would walk the same paths with them again, when the old fir trees and their inhabitants would disappear from the forest near their grandmother’s house, and when the bottom of Lake Kangasjärvi would no longer be visible when diving.
Through the performances, the video work expands into space through bodily and visual activities that create a shared experience with the audience.
The working group of the work consists of dance artists Riina Kalmi and Soile Voima, sound designer Kristian Ekholm and scenographer Anttoni Halonen.
Duration of the performance about 1h. Duration of the independent video work approx. 25 min.
Tickets: 15€ / 10€
