This may be about copper blue iron slags, maybe about sidestones and sidewalks, shards, and flowing soil. Maybe this is also about the rocks and their slow change. Maybe this is about a pool and a desert.
Maybe this is also about witchcraft, magic, the afterlife, ghosts and fantasy. Things that do not appear, are not heard and not known but which are, nonetheless. Perhaps it is a matter of allowing and conveying the unknown, the undefined, the unnamed. Maybe it’s about overcoming fear.
Most likely this is about working slowly, trusting the intuition and the process of art. Likely this is about dance and transformation; about listening to the connections of different materials and their ways of being, about never-ending movement, movement even while still. Likely this is about a call of strange, shining colors, light, shadows, darkness and twilight. And traces that overlap with other traces. And the cinder. Most likely this is about cinder.
Hämärä is a process, performance and installation by dance artist Soile Voima and set desinger Anttoni Halonen which they have been working on since the fall 2020. The work still continues.
Opening of the installation and premiere of the performance is on Saturday 16.10. at 6 p.m.
You can come and go freely in the space even during the performance. Duration of the performance varies, but it is more or less 100 minutes and it is free of charge. The space can hold about 25 spectators at a time.
Hämärä at Yö Galleria 17.10. - 24.10, Lönnrotinkatu 33, Helsinki. Wheelchair accessible entrance through the courtyard.
Installation is open during the opening times of the gallery Tue-Fri 14-19 and Sat–Sun 12–17.
On the days of the performance the gallery is open until 20.00.
Welcome!

Hämärä is part of Soile Voima's artistic research project with the working group Toisinajattelijat, which observes and investigates the intersection between new materialistic thinking and performative art.
