Artists Britt Al-Busultan, Janika Herlevi, and Natalia Koziel-Kalliomäki are welcoming the collaboration with alchemy and outdated technologies across three expanded cinema installations.
The artists found a shared home in the Vaasa-based artist-run filmlab Filmverkstaden, founded by Britt in 2010. Today, the lab stands as one of Finland’s most vibrant centres for analog film and photography practice where the voice for the medium is loudly articulated and enthusiasm for film becomes contagious.
The exhibition in gallery Oksasenkatu 11 presents three installations that offer a gentle yet powerful and resilient resistance to our clean and fast-paced world. Mechanically whirring film projectors are placed in the centre and insist on reinvention. The hand-processed photochemical films give endless possibilities and leave clear traces of imperfection. These marks become as fuel for a counter-point to simply “go with the flow” and pose an ongoing question: what’s new that can be slowly developed when working with film?
