Tehdas 2006

The animation is situated in an old power mill in Helsinki, called Hanasaari A.
A small group of photographers had two weeks free access to this very unique factory,
to document it, create videos, photo series etc. Soon after this the factory was demolished.
I used my material to create a looping animation of men entering and leaving
the factory. Story remains open, but you may read references to violence and destruction.
Red button at the end says: Everything Stop (=kaikki seis)

On the photo series I explored the organic traces around the factory,
written instructions on the walls, tiny specks of colour under the dust.

Animation sounds by Jukka Hiltunen
