A poetic video

Victor F.

Hänen sormet kuristavat hiirtä / Hän oksentaa kirjaimet näyttöruudulle, uhkaa / Pelonmaantieteessä pimeä kuja anoo apua / Onko hirviö Frankensteinin / vai eikö hirviö olekaan hirviö? / Minotauros löytyy mielemme labyrintistä / Hänen sormet kirpoavat hiirestä / Hän sammuttaa näyttöruudun / Hiiri juoksee ulos sokkelostaan
(Finnish)

VIctor F.

His fingers strangle the mouse / He vomits letters on the screen, threatening / In the geography of fear, the dark alley begs for help / Is the monster Frankenstein’s / or is the monster not a monster? / The Minotaur is found in the labyrinth of our minds / His fingers scream at the mouse / He turns off the screen / The mouse runs out of its maze
(English)

Director Biography - Sanna Telkki-Kova, O. Riikamaria Helle-Kotka

The PoetryFotogenic Team explores and creates art in passion through poetry, photography and video. This is accomplished through various forms of collaboration between photographer and video artist Sanna Telkki-Kova and poet Riikamaria Helle-Kotka in the shared visions of humanity and the world around us.

PoetryFotogenic Team members are self-taught artists outside all art departments. They work with intuition and direct their work together. Helle-Kotka and Telkki-Kova love to make new, experimental jumps in art. Their main job is teaching children and adolescents because they are educators.
