During
my last week in the amazing city of Berlin and within all the art and
cultural happenings, I
was pleased to meet with our head of Fine Art study path, Fanni Niemi-Junkola; presenting her new video work. The installation The
Body and Protection consists of two video works Breath
and Protection (2016). The artist is interested in presence,
body and power & notions of freedom and safety.
The
moment I received her invitation via Facebook I messaged her
immediately and I asked if I can come in the pre-opening night due to
my travelling back to Finland in the day of the opening 17.8.2016.
She was very welcoming of the idea and invited me to the gallery.
The
work itself was very intriguing and thought-provoking. The music
was composed by Pekko Käppi – a master of ancient Finnish-Karelian
bowed lyre - It added to the diverse layers of the work and supported
the images. Cinematically the videos were carefully planned and
pictorially impressive, that made it pleasing to watch.
Both videos have been filmed by Tommi Moilanen, who also works in TAMK as a lecturer of cinematography and lightning. The videos were edited by Ville Hakonen of Wacky Tie Films, a production company by our former students http://wackytie.fi.
