Possible Worlds is Part IV of the four-part Border Series. It grew from another return to Narva. Conversations about space travel, the former Soviet Union and the question of homeland brought different memories into the same room. The exhibition asked how one object or place changes when seen from another position.
It was a joint exhibition with painter Mika Vesalahti. My part brought together a sculpture, a generative image, music and the sound installation OrigiNation across four rooms. A headphone station guided visitors through them.
The sculpture InterSpace appears square through a small peephole and round from another direction. The generative image Nimitta moved inside a black hole shaped form, where a computer created a new image of chaos every minute. In the same room sounded music I composed with cellist Mika Seppänen. The 20-channel OrigiNation brought singers from Narva Music School and the Finnish Nomad Vocals choir into a new version of Mu Isamaa / Maamme laulu.
Narva Art Residency, Estonia, 7 December 2024 to 3 February 2025. Supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
