/part 1
Covid - 19 significantly reshaped our creative plans. From my home in Oslo, via Zoom, I have collaborated with Estonian artist and fashion designer Kärt Hammer on developing characters' costumes ideas and art direction for 5 video clips that later were used in the show. Three white-faced silent characters represented the ''Dreamers", wandering in forest, city, football field, children's room environments,: abstract yet tangible narratives of interhuman, universal dreams.

The live performance was rehearsed and performed in an underground tunnel of Helsinki, right under the National Museum of Finland. During the short timewindow in between the lockdowns, I travelled to Helsinki and created 7 different miniatures, each representing a specific dream. We placed them on pedestals under the protective transparent plexiglass cubes and positioned in the performance space so that the whole installation would resemble a real museum exhibition.

Audience used the spatial underground elevator to reach the hidden space. Upon arrival, they were freely wandering in space and explored the exhibition. Afterwards they were invited to pick foldable chairs and find their place in space. Due to Covid regulations, people had to keep certain distance in between each other, which made them spread around in space. In this way, each person accidentally became a live participant of immersive installation and art happening.
In one of the space sections we built a wooden structure with plants and wooden boxes, which contained ''dreams''. The structure served as an auction table, a bar, a shooping couter and a stage.
