Open curtains, broken rails. A small, fragile, hovering dot. The dots become visible like fireflies. In the middle of everything, the beauty of consciousness, a silver wattle with its leaves persistently reaching into the air. I ask all observers to pay attention to them, their far reaching mysterious glow. The plants invite you to have fun with them, even though everything seems to be going wrong for one reason or another.

The installation brings together spotlighted floor-level photographs, a large-scale video, and a soundscape, with the video and audio alternating so that periods of darkness highlight the sound. The starting point was the thought of a photograph as some kind of stage, as a performance in which those present are together once. All signs lead to one point, one gate in time. However, something is happening outside of one’s vision.

The exhibition is supported by the Finnfoto Central Association of Finnish Photographic Organisations.
