Suddenly it’s Evening
Solo Exhibition at gallery Forum Box, 2021. The work is now included in the Wihuri Art collection and donated to Rovaniemi Art Museum.
”Everyone stands alone at the heart of the world/ pierced by a ray of sunlight, / and suddenly it’s evening” – Salvatore Quasimodo
In Hanna Saarikoski’s new video-installation, seven separate videos build an illusion of a coherent landscape. The material of the installation was gathered during 2015-2021 in seven different locations.
It appears as if nothing much is happening. A crow flies to the top of a tree, a fresh pile of logs appears at a logging square. Each screen is like a moving, living painting (of a landscape) Not everything can be seen at the same time. An abandoned building collapses behind one’s back, just as one’s attention is drawn to a flock of birds fluttering in the southeastern sky. It is snowing, somewhere else, a moon rises.
