\u201cKimKino\u201d is designed as an illustration of an enlarged field of art\u00a0 and put together by internationally renowned curators and artists \u2013 Marita Muukkonen, curator, art critic (HIAP<\/a>, Helsinki, Finland); Johan Gustavsson, artist (Project Space \u201c1646\u201d<\/a>, The Hague, The Netherlands); Adeline Blanchard (Centre culturel Fran\u00e7ais, Paris, France); Oj\u0101rs P\u0113tersons, artist (VKN, Riga) and Ieva Astahovska, art critic (LMC, Riga).<\/p>\n

FINNISH FILM SCREENING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liisa Lounila
\nFlirt <\/strong>
\n2001, 5\u201900\u2019\u2019
\nThe film is shot with a self-made pinhole camera, which exposes simultaneously 528 frames. When they are shown as a moving image they create a feeling of moving around a frozen subject. The time slice technique separates the movement and the time. In \u201cFlirt\u201d we see a fight.<\/p>\n

Salla Tykk\u00e4
\nPower <\/strong>
\n1999, 4\u201915\u2019\u2019
\nTwo persons are boxing, a young woman without a shirt and a big man. The black and white image and the timeless space make the atmosphere dream like though the hard action and sounds refer to real life and pain. Power is a statement against the power relations in our society but it can be seen as a symbolic battle for life and surveying through it.<\/p>\n

Sami S\u00e4np\u00e4kkil\u00e4
\nPaavoharju: Valo tihkuu kaiken lapi<\/strong>
\n2007, 4\u201901\u2019\u2019
\n\u201cPaavoharju\u201d band comes from Savonlinna, Finland. The group is a collective project of ascetic born-again Christians. The sound is something between Bollywood music, church hymns, beautiful pop tunes and ambient esoteric noises. The lyrics are very spiritual in sound and text.<\/p>\n

\n

Aurora Reinhard
\nJulio & Lupita<\/strong>
\n2004, 4\u201935\u2019\u2019
\n\u201cJulio & Lupita\u201d is a video work in which a middle-aged Latino man, Julio, dances with a life-size female doll named Lupita. Lupita bends into the strangest and even most perverse positions, to a ghostly Latino rhythm playing in the background. The dance with the doll is based on the Latin American custom of an abandoned husband making a doll in the likeness of his wife and dancing a last dance with the doll, after which it is burned.<\/p>\n

\nRiikka Kuoppala
\nVisitor in my Body<\/strong>
\n2008, 9\u201955\u2019\u2019
\nExperimental narrative short film concerning the identity crisis caused by a serious illness. The story takes place in the attic of an old house. There, a small girl and a grown woman spend time together. They interact more as friends, although they could be mother and daughter. While they play together, the two discuss illness and share memories. The disease made them reconsider who they are. What happens when the story on oneself is incomplete, when a person\u2019s identity is brought into a crisis? Can the narrative be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?<\/p>\n

\nHannu Karjalainen
\nMan in a Blue Shirt<\/strong>
\n2006, 5\u201920\u2019\u2019
\nThick paint is slowly poured over an elderly man until his head is completely covered with flowing paint and his identity is gone. What are we witnessing here: an existentialist performance or an absurdist interpretation of the idea of a portrait painting?<\/p>\n

\nSanteri Tuori
\nKarlotta<\/strong>
\n2003, 2\u201932\u2019\u2019
\nGrave melancholy entwines with incontrollable bursts of energy in Santeri Tuori\u2019s images of children. The still black and white pictures create eerie shadows for the moving figures. Like old photographs or cinematic flash backs they allude to a past that haunts the present, and possibly the future as well. They may thus act as visualised memories, as shared property that hides within it the unarticulated and personal. As recollections or mementos they clash disturbingly with the lively children, who hence appear at once present and absent.<\/p>\n

\nRaakel Kuukka
\nDrummer<\/strong>
\n2003, 3\u201924\u2019\u2019
\nVideo installation \u201cDrummer\u201d is a speechless and slow-tempo living portrait of a face, reflecting feelings and thoughts. It portrays a 60-yearold woman with her drums and rag rug. The drummer is joined by an accordionist who plays variations of a catchy Russian polka. Originally, this work was a portrait of Regina, the artist\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n

\nJani Ruscica
\nBatbox\/Beatbox<\/strong>
\n2007, 18\u201900\u2019\u2019
\nJani Ruscica\u2019s two experimental short films \u201cBatbox\u201d \/ \u201cBeatbox\u201d reveal the limitations of human sight both in nature and in a cultural context. \u201cBatbox\u201d \/ \u201cBeatbox\u201d parallels two very opposed environments: nature depicted through bats\u2019 nightly echolocation and the urban metropolis navigated by hip-hop artists.<\/p>\n

\nSanna Kannisto
\nBee Studies: Orchid Bee Males<\/strong>
\n2004, 8\u201906\u2019\u2019
\nSanna Kannisto\u2019s video work is based on pseudo-scientific field study in South America\u2019s rain forests. The artist brings viewers face-to-face with a territorial battle of male orchid bees. In her video projection the bees first appear to be like regular busy-beings gathering honey. As the insects\u2019 buzzing sound increases, an unpredictable scenario unfolds in which the powerful, in a fierce survival of the fittest battle, take over.<\/p>\n

Seppo Renvall
\nPlanet Earth \u2013 Encyclopedia <\/strong>
\n1995, 6\u201905\u2019\u2019
\n\u201cPlanet Earth \u2013 Encyclopedia\u201d is based on pictures from a book series of twelve books from the year 1912. The soundtrack is film music from the same year: \u201cA Gruesome Tale\u201d, composed by J. S. Zcemecnik, performed by Aslak Christiansson.<\/p>\n

Roi Vaara
\nArtist\u2019s Dilemma<\/strong>
\n1997, 3\u201936\u2019\u2019
\nMan facing a difficult choice \u2013 while standing in front of a signpost, he can\u2019t decide whether to follow the sign to \u201cart\u201d or to \u201clife\u201d.<\/p>\n
