VOYEUR

Holmström Gun

The footage for Voyeur was filmed almost coincidentally. In summertime all kinds of people gather on the lawn around the Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum in Helsinki. I sat on the fourth floor and started to film people enjoying the sunlight, simply because the sight was so pleasant. Suddenly, in the corner of my eye, I noticed something odd - a lonely man sitting all by himself just looking around. I started to follow his movements and mysterious things started to happen. What was he talking about to the girls? What strange object was he holding in his hand? Why did he seem so displaced? Voyeur is a story that told itself to me.
