Leda&friends
Pathirane Sara
In the choreography for video Leda & friends two bird-like ones have landed on the realm of the poet Sappho on the island of Lesbos. It shows a world where bird-like ones cherish dreams, dance together with nature, love and preserve life, and brood a shared mystery: a hyacinth-coloured egg discovered by Leda. The soundscape layers Sappho's poems into whispers from timelessness and space in the oral tradition of lyric poetry.

Sara Pathirane’s work deals with the tradition of landscape painting and the problematics of taking a picture. As shooting locations for her videos she uses nature areas known from movies and paintings, shifting between the everyday and the fiction. She works with video, painting and live-installations. Pathirane lives and works in Helsinki. She has studied in the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts and Accademia Albertina in Torino. Her works have been shown for example at Taiga-Space, Saint-Petersburg (2016), Colombo Art Biennale (2016) and Kiasma (2010, 2013).
