| A Finnish Video Art Collection Specially for Le Petit Festival du Théâtre 2010 |
| Curated by Kaarina Ormio 16 videos, total length about 1 h 15 min For this collection of Finnish video works I have chosen some beautiful and thoughtful pieces. The series became a kind of story where the movement of the sight plays a role. Sometimes the sight is floating in a certain direction, sometimes the character is moving inside the sight. Then again you stay looking at some delightful movements in the nature, or stop and take a step back for an (unpleasant) observation on humankind. Or you just wonder how the world is. |
