O
Galleria Huuto Jätkäsaari – Pikkujätkä
21st August – 6th September 2015
O is a short trip to oblivion. It portraits a repeating moment that loses parts of it’s original information in every replay. Eventually original visual meaning degenerates to abstract noise and sails a way in to silence. What remains when symbols shatter? Not a void but peace. The rest is silence.
O is done by printing frames to paper and exposing these prints to photocopying process. By relentlessly recopying the copies, the footage goes through a metamorphoses generated by the indefinite and approximate nature of the photocopying process. Eventually this stack of re-reproduction has been scanned and put back together as a film.
