A-Bit-To-Bite
Horelli Laura
A kitchen in a television studio. A woman wearing an apron is speaking with a puppet dog. The 1980s popular children’s programme is broadcast on a Finnish national television channel weekly at 6pm. The woman is Horelli’s mother who died when her daughter was ten. In this personal work, we hear Horelli, in voice-over, searching for memories of the mother by viewing the staged scenes.
