Lilli Haapala: Blues

Completion year: 2020
Technique: videoinstallation
A utopia points to the future through the lens of dreams, whereas a dystopia draws an undesirable threat. The work Blues tackles both views. It is a representation of human development and our connection with nature. The artist is interested in how humankind has explored and explained the universe through different times.

"The work Blues is poetic and surrealistic in tone. Behind the work stands the thought of melancholy and climate anxiety, and on the other hand the aspiration to break away from all that", Haapala explains.
