Sini Pelkki
A Composition of a human figure placed in a challenging position. The impossibility of the image is discharged into movement and sound, into a stream towards a free form: of the performer, camera and image. In the centre of the work is the movement between spaces, dialogue between control and reflex, improvised performance, improvisation as a form of knowledge, and poetic text in dialogue and interaction with a space of various reflective materials such as mirrors and stones.
