Summer Parade
Kuorinki Mikko
We see a desert forest road in summer. The sound of distant percussion instruments grows louder. A woman banging a drum and a man crashing cymbals together march on the road, towards and past the camera. “Summer Parade” is a sequel to Kuorinki’s earlier work, 'Fall Parade'.
