Milja Viita‘s film Coriolis is part of the exhibition Silver Egg. The Eros of Media Art, opening on July 4, 2026 at ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The exhibition Silver Egg is a call for an erotic attitude towards the world and asks: What are the media and forms of perception in art for addressing the desires and deficiencies of our time?

The exhibition runs until February 21, 2027.

Coriolis (2013) is a poetic documentary about identical twins, Marthe and Martine, who are separated by the world. A caregiver of the elderly, Martine currently lives in Helsinki, while Marthe, who works as a dressmaker, still lives in their native country, Togo.

Her works have been exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Kunsthalle Helsinki, Mänttä Art Festival among others, as well as at various international film and media art festivals.
