OUT2, artistic research

The Utopia of Access - Research Pavilion, Venice, 14.-28.8.2017

Experimental collective film

Out 2 was a 9-hour collective film installation and related explorative events, inspired by Jacques Rivette’s enigmatic Out 1: Noli Me Tangere (1971). OUT 2 Équipage was formed in the Department of Art, Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, including students and faculty:

Harri Laakso and Maiju Loukola, Henna Herranen, Laura Jarvey, Matti Tanskanen, Outi Yli-Viikari, Jernej Cucek Gerbec,  Niko Nurmi, Ragnar Águstsson, Joel Autio, Eero Tiainen, Valeria Nekhaeva, Niko Skorpio, Ali Mehta, Aneta Atsova, Katja Lautamatti, Saara Kanerva Tamminen, Katri Miettinen,Tatiana Melnikova, Jakub Bobrowski, Ilona Lehtonen, Riikka Theresa Innanen, Victor Pereira Pardinho, Jelena Rosic, Adriana Delgado

“Out 2 investigates "accessibility" to contemporaneity via historical moments. It intertwines documentary and fabricated fragments, also produced in the event, into a sculptural moving image composition.

I directed the first episode of the film, and was responsible for the lockdown edition. Together with choreographer Riikka Theresa Innanen and artist Laura Jarvey we build an installation ‘Ghost of Cinema’ for the pavilion. This black box piece was a hommage to hauntology.
