Floating

Oja Marjatta

Six videos are projected on the walls of the exhibition space. The videos depict a vertically moving horizon. The horizon in each window moves in its own pace so that when the space is observed from the other end, the horizons seem to create a wave-like movement. The exhibition space turns into a large screen and a stable base for restless videos.
