Scope
Soukka Saku
Scope consists of programmed photographs, texts and music. It deals with dissociative experience and fluidity of the human mind and the self. The ”I” and ”you” of the work merge into one at the beginning of the work. After that the human mind wanders, drifts, and associates unexpectedly.
