Dream or
memory video picks
up landscapes
and buildings
from the side of the road on the way from Sortavala to Petroskoi.
In similar
sights my parent begun their life
journey together. -Wedding celebration
lastet for
two weeks, days were work and nights dance, as my mother told.
Ubuntu - an African way of life - could be
an African archbishop Tutu has said. What could be our, who life behind
the
wolfline, gift to each other? Who tells us our value if we aren’t
able to see?
Dream or memory is a combination of video, animation and music. And
they are
all present- the pain of loosing, joy, uncertain future and
moment’s
happiness.
Video is dedicated to the watermirrors on a bumpy road. Perhaps the
idea is not
only in the landscape itself. Sitting on my father’s knee,
hopping up and down
and a song- Show me...your eyes, are they bright...up and down ever
more
watching surrounding people.
-Go on, tell me already! Are they or not? Be sure to see just how
bright
indeed!
