Family Act – communal stop motion project
A puppet family will slowly create a scene of a family life in the gallery. During Friday night the audience may affect the puppets actions. The audience becomes a part of the animation in a concrete way, as the camera shooting the animation captures the gallery space as a background for the images. As the story develops, the animation is projected on screen throughout the night.
Family Act is a communal stop motion project that studies issues of family, community and animation as an art form. Family Act consists of animation performances and independent video works shot during the performances. The animation puppets are caricatures of artist’s own family.
(If you wish to sneak a peek Family Act will start shooting on Thursday evening from 8-12pm in Rajatila.)

Neutraalipiste (= neutral point)
Drawn animation (as an) event
Neutral point connects dualistic oppositions; good and evil, fear and hope, ugly and beautiful are connected at one point, creating new interpretations.
For three hours the audience may participate in making of drawn animations in MediaPyhät event in Gallery Rajatila. Those participating may draw an animation, that one way or other deals with the theme of neutral point. The drawings are scanned and projected on screen as a loop video in the gallery. During the process the neutral point grows, varies, and changes by the effect of participators.
Heidi Saramäki is making her Masters Degree in Finnish Academy of Fine Arts. Her communal animation works have previously exhibited in Kunsthalle Helsinki and exhibition space Lasiboksi.
