KUIN KATOAA JALKOIHIN is a performance installation that uses poetry as a scenographic element.
Aino Kontinen and working group: KUIN KATOAA JALKOIHIN
During Ehkä-production’s residency at the Contemporay Art Space Kutomo, the working group will begin their collaborative process by focusing on exploring the form of the upcoming performance installation KUIN KATOAA JALKOIHIN. The form is inspired by poet Mirkka Rekola’s statement on experiencing art: when you look at a painting, you look at yourself; you look outwards and inwards at the same time¹. The central question of the residency period is how the images and senses evoked by poetry become part of the spatiality of the performance. How is the scenography of the performance defined when both outward- and inward-directed gazes are filtered into the landscape of the performance?
