Filmed in a barren fishing community off the Icelandic coast and a trendy hotel in Helsinki, A Seal Story is a queer take on a contemporary love triangle. It takes its inspiration from the legend, where seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. Once a year, they were allowed to come on land, strip off their skins and amuse themselves as human beings.

Guided by a voice of an old fox, the narrator describes a troubled relationship in an ambiguous domestic setting. The failings of contemporary society and the anxiety of a looming disaster can be sensed in the background. Thoughts about stardust and dark matter that bind together the entire universe offer glimpses of hope and solace.

Majestic shots of Arctic glaciers are contrasted with a poem where the voice-over steadily instructs how to skin a polar bear, from head to paws, from a living, feeling being to a pile of commodities.

In Above Our Horizon, we see the artist don a carnival mask of a bird’s head, whose exaggerated size and features hint at an uncanny reality being portrayed onscreen: a hybrid of our known and shared world and a dream world. It encompasses the sea, the air, which is crisscrossed by the flight of birds and bats and dotted with stars, a “sea salt whirlwind”, fire and a burned hill, as well as fish, which is grilled alive to provide sustenance.
