The films of the screening
Saara Ekström: Phantasma (2016), 9:49min.
The camera transports the viewer through the dreamlike, delirious and dilapidated rooms of an aquarium that opened in Copenhagen in 1939. The organic merges with the mechanical as time drives these opposite elements towards a joint destruction. Sound design by Mika Vainio.
Henrik Håkansson: The Beetle (2018), 80 min.
Henrik Håkansson’s film explores the state of the globe from an insect perspective. The main protagonist is the endangered Hylochares cruentatus (in Finnish ’halavasepikkä’), with the only known occurrences at Mätäoja in Vantaa, Finland. Music composed by Mika Vainio. The film was the main production of the 2018 IHME Contemporary Art Festival in Helsinki.
