Main

"Ja sieltä kun mätkähtää, niin ruumis onkin siinä —  aivan liian tarkkarajaisena ja kaiken tuntevana. Päässä helisee, entropia."

In their new collaboration ’Main’ choreographer-performer Suvi Kemppainen and visual artist-experimental music artist Reetta Nummi (SITOI) trace the corporeality and the representation of vulnerability. Through the mediums of live performance, sound and installation, the work explores the penetrative quality of one's attention: the movement between presence and absence, and between blur and precise. The corporeality and subtle alterations created in the exhibition space invite the audience to zoom in to the abundance of sensitivity and to the bliss of off-focus.
