Stone under the Moon
Oja Milla-Kariina
If nature had a mind, how would it work? Could we commune with it? How would it be possible to understand the innermost essence of a natural entity such as a stone or the wind? These questions have driven the odd imaginary world that Milla-Kariina Oja has constructed in the Stone under the Moon video installation. The single-channel spatial video installation is centred on a barren and active island. The island is a living agent that writes its own story. Simultaneously, a human being aims to resonate with the surrounding environment through spontaneous ritualistic gestures. The work meditates on the core of human beings’ intimate and profound relationships with nature, and reflects on our seemingly absurd ways of being and acting.
