Shot entirely in 16mm black and white film using single frame photography, 165708 employs in-camera techniques and chemical manipulation of processed film to produce an eidetic study of temporal elasticity. Techniques include flicker, time-lapse, light painting, stop motion, tinting, and toning. Combined with cycles of alternating exposed frames, these methods imbue the work with a rhythmic magnetism, apparent both in the tempo and the aesthetic of the images.

The artist’s firstborn son transformed, in the blink of an eye, into a young man. Q is a conceptual film about forces that change the world. Q takes us to the end of the worlds, the depths of the ocean and to the ruins of Atlantis. Q’s destruction is the road to new growth — it is the only promise of continuity and the emergence of new nations. Q is shot on 16 mm film whose surface has been hand-coloured. But what or who is Q?

"Abandoned Land” is a documentary and experimental video. It captures and documents abandoned places, infrastructure and phenomenon in Finland. The video uses Finland as an allegory to approach recent changes of the European society with visually effective images, prosaic narration and music. When still in use, the abandoned environment had grown to match to the demands of society and now time has made it useless. The video observes and documents that change. With the abandoned phenomena the video explores history and its relation with today.

The title character, Marionette, tries to wake up from lethargy and take the control over her own existence. However, even the slightest movement of hers is carefully followed by the intricate mechanism, determined to restore the former order of things.

A meteorite, strange vegetation, a colour: an experimental take on H.P. Lovecraft's spiral into madness, shot with a vintage camera on truly unique LomoChrome 16mm film. This is a beautiful exercise in the surreal. A fish in a sea of wind, and nature discarding.

Filmed in Beirut, a city in perpetual reconstruction that crystallizes many contemporary issues, the film ties the question of the poem and its form to the question - from a political point of view - of space - the coastline. Linked in this way, poetry and politics can no longer be thought of in today's closed dialectic (either the return to tradition and its exclusive values, or the universal reporting and limitlessness of the all-is-marchandise"), but require a singular invention and the new affirmation of a "shared".

Whom who inhabits occult in thy skin, thy flesh, thy bones, behind blinded eyes, behind unvirtuous hands, behind foul tongues and fading faces, I walk amongst ourselves… I am our Beast.
