FILM PROCESS (2008 – )  


First I had a hundred metres of clear film

on which I painted a childhood landscape (Pori-Helsinki, 2008)

on top of the childhood landscape I painted sea at night (Sea, 2013)

and a garden over the sea (Attraction, 2015).

I flew messenger pigeons into the garden (Beautiful Confusion, 2017)

returned to a landscape that flashed like 47 years in a minute (Mixed Feelings, 2020)

cut eggs, caterpillars and cocoons into the mix (New Bugs, 2021-22)

weave a trapeze net (Trapeze Net, 2023- ).



Miia Rinne has for long worked with a method of layering new moving image material, painted or digital, on top of the old material. Every new work is a new layer of the mind or a sediment with depth and history beneath its surface. This way, a narrative of depth builds in between her new and old works and the body of works is constantly evolving.

Narrative is about time, time can be linear and cyclical, but perhaps also vertical.

Pantagruel´s Mouth (2010) | 3-channel video installation
4:40 min
montage: Miia Rinne
sound: Pentti Dassum
Pantagruel´s Mouth on Vimeo

Pantagruel´s Mouth consists of three video projections side by side, each showing the passing of a journey. Material comes from a variety of feature movies. Using short citations, I have built a new journey within the universe of other stories.

Pantagruel's Mouth relates to the human need to tell stories and fantasize. The title comes's from Renaissance writer F. Rabelais. In one of his story, the narrator-character gets lost in the mouth of the giant Pantagruel, and finds there a new world.

A collage of life.
Sometimes sound gives a hint of something coming,
and sometimes it refers to something already gone.
