seconds 2007–2010, 16:9 DV Finnish with English subtitles A video based on Väinö Kirstinä's (1936–2007) poem "Kuka kukin on?". The video was made in a video poetry workshop for young people organized by Kiasma Theater as a part of URB-festival in 2007. Aune Kallinen and I were the directors/teachers of the workshop and we had 8 teenagers working with us on poetry, movement, performing and video: Saana Ahlfors, Nelli Ahlroth, Onni Hämäläinen, Inka Mellais, Päivi Raninen, Eevi Helinä Savolainen, Tuuli Teelahti, Eeva Virtanen The end result was a 50-minute video work titled Kuolevainen / Mortal from which Kuka kukin on? / Who Is Who? is a fragment. Väinö Kirstinä (from Kirstinä's collection Luonnollinen tanssi / A Natural Dance, 1965): WHO IS WHO? A four-legged couple in love walked in a thousand-legged crowd. A chirping machine chirped. Clouds kept tactfully silent, bimwhite in bamblue. A green Thursday followed a black Friday. I am a poem you are a poem, s/he is a poem. Who am I? where am I? who is who? (poem translated
by Teemu Mäki)
