A Seal Story
Cinematography
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.
ICELAND (Nighttime)
Cinematography
ICELAND (Nighttime) explores the collective mindset of anxiety and hope in epic, post-catastrophic landscapes. The video engages the most fundamental of human experiences: love, hope, fear, solitude and togetherness. Set in Icelandic landscapes that are romantic yet inhospitable, ICELAND (Nighttime) deals with the sensibility that we are close to the end of the world as we know it.
Altered Breaths, Future Feelings
Cinematography
A narrator from an undefined future discusses love, hope, future, beginnings, myths, environmental disasters and vanished species. The video investigates the possible end of an era, its entangled histories, open-ended narratives and flux identities. It aims to carefully glimpse into the possible futures of humankind and other kind: the vital necessity for co-dependence and urgency to remember, preserve and act now.
Milk & Decay
Cinematography
The video resembles a nursery rhyme about different months, but within the poetic lines looms allusions to a planetary catastrophe. In a transformed world, resilient creatures like cockroaches, coyotes, and fungi are ready to take the stage.
