In The Middle of The Movie
Kalleinen Tellervo
Tellervo Kalleinen travelled around the world placing ads on streetlamps and notice boards: ”Plan a film scene in your home and give a Finnish woman a role in it!” She went to every home she was invited to and acted the roles she was given by people she had never met, totaling 65 scenes in 65 homes. The piece was shot between 2001 and 2003 across Hamburg, Helsinki, Los Angeles, Seydisfjördur, St.Petersburg and Tallinn. The work is presented as an installation with six arm chairs and six monitors on a carpet.
