Magma

Kallio Jade

Magma is a balm for soothing terrestrial aches, a memento of worlds not yet imagined. To exhale is the smallest possible ritual, one that has to do with memory: an old world, a lava lamp, the smell of gas, a suspended bubble; a sacrifice that is the end of all sacrifice. (Anna Tomi)

Jade Kallio

Born: 1978

Jade Kallio is a Helsinki-based filmmaker and artist whose practice reflects on gender, corporeality, and the spaces and social structures in which meanings are produced, with a focus on trans identities and marginalized experiences. Kallio explores how social norms shape possibilities for existence and visibility. Current projects blend documentary, speculative fiction, and magical realism while considering production structures, working conditions, and questions of narrative authority. Kallio has exhibited work at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, CCA Northern Ireland, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the European Media Art Festival (EMAF Award 2019), among others.
