"Vahel tahaks reaalse elu eest jooksu panna ja midagi täiesti teistsugust teha. Pea ees võõramasse vette hüpata ja vaadata, kas saab kaineks või läheb veel hullemaks.

Vahel tahaks lõhkuda raame, mille järgi teised meid tunnevad ning millesse ise end surume, et oleks lihtsam koos püsida.

Praegu tahaks mõlemat teha. Näiteks maalides."

Näitus jääb avatuks aprilli lõpuni.

"MINUSOID"

MINU MINAPILT EI OLE MINU PILT
ja ma ei tea kunagi, millisest peeglist ma tõtt näen
kui üldse

tegelikult ma arvangi
et mina ei saagi mind näha
ma vaatan tuhande silmaga
aga need ei käi küljest ära
ja see ajab mind hulluks

MA OLEN ISEENDA ILLUSIOON
purunen iga päev kildudeks ja loon uuesti
ehkki väliselt olen justkui koos

mu minad näevad teiste minasid ainsuses
ja me taipame, et see on pöördvõrdeline seos
maailm tunneb üht mina
aga mina teda ei tunne
ma pole teda näinud ja see hirmutab mind

MA KÕNNIN TÄNAVAL MINULE VASTU JA ME EI TERETA

To be honest, this is one of my most random art projects.
It was born on a dark night when I was surfing around the Internet and the dullness made me freak out. Really, girls, there are more emotions than your "aww-muscle" creates.
It took me 15 minutes and 169 clicks on my webcam to prove it.

"169-15" was presented as a collage made of 10x10cm prints on an exhibition "OMG! See teeb pilti, kui ma siia vajutan" held in Gallery Noorus February 2012.

Making-of:

A shitty photo I took with a phone when putting photos on the wall in the gallery.

I also framed about 20 10x15 photos that were important to me on the journey

of becoming a photographer and wrote a small and personal story next to them. In order to see them,

one had to squeeze itself to a narrow hallway behind the wall with my other works.

I hoped this would create a direct contact with the photos and as one could only watch them one at a time, he or she really had the time to read and digest it alone.

You can the hallway on the following photos taken by random people during the exhibition.

Oh yeah... And that's me, looking from my secret corridor during opening I guess?

Näituseprojekti lähtepunktiks on legend Porkuni preilist. (vt F.R. Kreutzwaldi "Eesti rahva ennemuistsed jutud" ja Marie Underi ballaad "Porkuni preili" ). Tööd valmisid 2011. aasta juunikuus Porkunis viibides.

Väljavõte oma märkmikust:

"PORKUNI: Lahkunud preili sise- ja välismaailm. Unenäolisus. Nihked reaalsuses ja ajas. Kummituslikkus. Jäljed, mille elus olles maha jätame ja mida mööda lahkununa sammume. Paiga müstiline aura läbi kaamerasilma ja hinge filtri. Võimatu loo võimalikud lahendid. Kokku jooksmine. Väljapääs. Ahastus. Üksindus. Viha, kurbus ja ilusad mälestused sulanduna üheks aimatavaks tervikuks. Introspektiivne."

Photo project done in June 2011. The starting point is a legend called "Lady of Porkuni"*. (take a look at F.R. Kreutzwald's "Estonian folk stories of old days" and ballad by Marie Under "Lady of Porkuni")

Extract from my sketchbook:

"PORKUNI: Inside and outside world of the departed spirit. Dreamlike. Shifts in reality and time. Ghostly. Traces we leave behind. Mystical aura of the place trough the filter of lens and soul. Possible solutions of the impossible story. Dead ends. Impasse situations. Anguish. Loneliness. Anger, sadness, and beatuful memories forming one abumbrative whole. Introspective."

Since i couldn't find anything about Lady of Porkuni in English, i try to make a short resume.

Lady of Porkuni. It's an old Estonian folk story trying to explain little floating islands on the lake Porkuni. The story is about a brother and a sister who supposedly lived in the castle of Porkuni. The brother was a soldier so he often had to be away from home. Her sister stayed home alone. Soon she found herself a man, who she fell in love with. One night she went to talk to her brother so she could marry her beloved one. The brother got very angry and asked to see the man. Then he cut down his head with his sword and dragged her sister to the lake. The brother hewed a hole into the ice and drowned her sister. The legend tells about small lights appearing on the lake Porkuni at night. It's the sister's soul who hasn't found any peace.
