Untitled (Searchlight)
Kuorinki Mikko
‘What’s wrong, have you lost your ring? Don’t worry, the leaves and sun will work together like searchlights. She had never lost a ring, but we were happy to look for it.’ The silent video work combines the text with an image of a play of light on a forest soil covered with leaves.
