Reflections in a window pane
Saloranta Elina
The image track of the video consists of snowfall behind a window. The soundtrack is based on material produced in 2010–11 at two conferences on artistic research. At both conferences, the artist screened her video Two rooms and a kitchen (2010) and asked viewers what they saw and heard in it. The new piece is thus a reflection or mirror image of the previous one.
