Reel

Toikka Jenni

The formal subject of Reel is memory disorder. In the work, the observed reality of the memory diseased parallels with basic questions of visual arts – image, viewing and observing. The topic is viewed as solutions in the narrative means of moving image. Events are located in a performance-like situation in which a series of actions are viewed in different ways - from a distance, with one long shot, and reciprocally - from near, utilising cuts and angles. The piece follows the structure of the disease but, despite being illogical and unchronological, it seeks to find a way to combine the pieces of the memory diseased world into a narrative and comprehensible whole.
