108 Beats
Ehrnrooth Sophia
108 Beats (2018) is a single-channel video, in which various footballs float against a black background, pulsing to the rhythm of a heartbeat. All the footballs shown have been donated by junior football clubs in the Helsinki area. Each worn ball has had a football-loving heart practicing and dreaming with it. Number 108 has a symbolic meaning in many religions around the world: In both Buddhist and Hindu traditions 108 bead rosaries (malas) are used for prayer and meditation.
