The Duplicate
Sassi Pekka
The image consists of two strips sliding on top of each other upwards and downwards. When the movement is slowed down, it is possible to see two people. At the same time, a space is created and the spectator starts to look for a story. But when the movement speeds up again, the space disappears and the video turns into a mere image and a storm of sound.

Pekka Sassi (b. 1969) is a Helsinki-based artist whose output consists of experimental sound and video works, many of which are purely sound pieces and audio installations.
