Beyond
Karjalainen Hannu
Dramatically lit, black and white naked human figures move in slow motion, the effect is eerie. An ambient soundtrack recalls shifting sands; an audible manifestation of the physical appearance of the figures which are in a constant process of transformation. They merge and split, the face of one man is transformed into another’s, one kind of body becomes a totally opposite kind of body. The artist examines the possibilities of controlling one’s own life.
