visual artist and cinematographer
Six-part video installation putting the current financial crises (2008-2009) and it’s effects in Estonia into the context of lamenting. Lamenting is a old weeping-song tradition present in Estonia for centuries. Lamenting is an emotional act accompanying transition periods and crossings of borders – death, marriage etc. In these video series I am portraying rather tragicomical situations of people who don’t know what to do and therefore start to enjoy the suffering.
