Jaakko Niemelä: Genesis - Unfinished

Videoprojection on a perforated wall, smokemachine, together with Helena Hietanen, 2006

The work consists of two rooms. In the other room a video ( animated Bible text, Genesis ) is projected to a perforated wall. Behind the wall there is a darkened room where the light of video projection can be seen "in the air". Light of the video animation projects through small holes of the wall and it creates the word Unfinished into the "air" of the dark room.
