GIANT

Installation

Funding: Finnish Cultural Foundation, AVEK / Heidi Tikka

GIANT is an installation spread over a wall and floor of a gallery space. Lots of small human figures combine to form a giant figure on which an animation of people climbing up is projected. The giant threatens a red island where lit-up houses and spruces have retreated and solidified horizontally as if windswept. The soundscape by Čtienne Charry crackles and bangs. Animations, which are played on a loop on two separate monitors, are like surveillance camera footage from inside the small houses. The work's theme is collective fear.

Giant is a sister work to Panic Room and Village, two previous works by Pirjetta Brander.
