PORI-HELSINKI, 2008–2010, 35 mm film transferred to digital beta, stereo sound (edit1: 16min, edit 2: 8min 37sec)

Pori-Helsinki is a hand painted 35 mm film. It shows a moving landscape, as if seen from the window of a train. What passes by is forets, fields, slush and storm, as well as a seaside under the evening sunlight. At times the scenery will disperse into abstraction.

The work is named by two cities, the town I was born in and my recent home town. The film discusses the way in which mind moves at once in different space-times – especially when travelling. The film is dealing with the question of identity, too. How closely one's identity is related to the places he has lived and lives in?

The sounds are made by Tapani Rinne and Verneri Lumi.
