Tervaniemi Sari

A short and mysterious "detective story" in four parts. The film presents women who are trying to work out how to dominate or impose upon the physical spaces they find themselves in, which in the work are often vacant or banal locations. The video plays with the conventions of horror films as the camera silently follows these women, the accompanying electronic soundtrack veers between ambience and urgency. The allusive narration calls for the audience to form an interpretation of their own with this mystery.
