Name Me Me Man, Red Negative Evita Gender.
Erkka Nissinen
A man takes an introspective look at his troubled past but he slides in too deep. A combination of narrative video piece and live performance. A series of nonsensical, absurdist developments between characters all played by Nissinen. Some of these events happen live, synchronized with a large video background projection. A single-channel screening version also available.
