MADE IN HONG KONG
Hand processed S8 transferred to video, stereo, 00:05:40, 2017 (the sound starts in the midle of the film)
A film by Seppo Renvall, Juha van Ingen and Jarkko Räsänen
“Made in Hong Kong was made during our visit to Papay Gyro Art Festival Kong Kong in 2015. The film is about our experiences in Hong Kong city and the forest of Cheung Chau island.”
ONE
HD video, 00:08:00, 2015
By Juha van Ingen
The starting point for ONE is a video taken with a mobile phone in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The camera has not been able to capture the original view, and the resulting video contains only mystical glitch. What causes the glitch? What is the moment or subject that was originally attempted to be documented? Is there a huge planet or a tiny cell in the video? Perhaps it is something else – a human or even God?
The soundscape of ONE is homage to big questions, a mash-up of 1960’s sci-fi cinema soundtracks.
VANTAA

Marche Funèbre
Video, 00:06:31, 2013
By Jarkko Räsänen
Moths flew inside my studio after the video projector's light in the countryside of Wiepersdorf. Spiders ate them. After I cleaned the floor and threw them outside, I noticed that one started to move by itself against the wind. As I looked down, I noticed an ant carrying the corpse back towards the grassfield and forest where it originally had come from. The soundtrack consists of field recordings including birds singing, and the sounds of an ant colony walking over dry leaves accompanied by looping piano chords?
A Life of One's Own (a long tomorrow)
Video, 00:09:00, 2008
By Kari Yli Annala
The story of a lonely journey to the unseen future.
