Antti-Ville Reinikainen: Sublimation

Installation consists of oval window/mirror and corridor.

Behind the oval glass the viewer can see a small miniature ship sailing in a dark corridor-like space. It is moving sometimes very slowly so it may be hard to see its lights from the reflecting surface of the oval glass. The boat seems to be on endless journey, pacing back and forth its long but narrow pool.

By the oval glass there's stairs leading onto half-lit surface. By the stairs there is also small window with a view to miniature window. There's a projection of a red, pounding heart on the window surface.

On the upper level in the end of the stairs there's a view to a dark coffin-like ship cabin. There's a gaping black hole in the floor and smaller hole in the ceiling. Behind the walls, from undisclosed direction comes sound of discussion: a man and a woman are desperately trying to figure out their state of beign. A light is continually changing from a dark to brighter. A traces of ash can be seen floating in the air.
