the wistfulness of presence
Läsnäolon haikeudesta (6.40 min, 2020) is a video work about home and how being in a place influences who we are. The work was filmed in Finland and Switzerland. Started before the pandemic, the piece was finished when traveling between the two home countries was not possible.
In 2020, the video work won the Corona Call –prize by Visarte, the Visual Arts Association of Switzerland. It has been exhibited in various galleries during 2021-23.
