All these works have been constructed from a found footage material. That is: I haven&#8217;t shot the photos myself nor filmed the material of the video installation, but I have acquired them in other ways.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Long Tail\u201d is a term used in economics and statistics. It describes the large majority of a product range that does not sell particularly well. In contrast, there are a few well-known hit products that sell in large quantities. I want to use this concept to think about how we see the past and how we have formed our understanding of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is often described using words related to movement: it cannot be stopped, and everything changes slowly but inevitably. How do we form our image of a time we have not personally experienced? Often we talk about oral history, which is transmitted through personal connections, and general history, which is taught in schools. Both of these are based on various sources: experiences and events that have been recorded using different means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are some of these old materials considered essential and valuable? They are preserved in archives, and their grand narrative i.e. the prevailing perception of the events of reality, is heard and passed on. On the other hand, microhistorical and private materials often end up being regarded as trash\u2014 as a part of the long tail\u2014because they simply do not interest anyone. Almost as if they would form a slowly vanishing shadow world, behind the one that we know better. This is the material I have used, when compiling these works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest piece in the exhibition is the two-channel video installation &#8221;Wherever Street Piece&#8221;. It describes impersonal, fragmented and detached memories that cannot be directly linked to the life of one particular individual. At the same time, it documents the way these past realities blend together from the perspective of the present. Naturally, not everything can be preserved in archives, and the loss of experiences is partially inevitable. However, if the lessons of the past are forgotten, we are bound to repeat the mistakes of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The production of &#8221;Wherever Street Piece&#8221; has been supported by Finnish Cultural Foundation\/Lapland Regional Fund, Arts Promotion Centre Finland\/Arts Council of Lapland, AVEK Audiovisual Centre, VISEK Centre for the Promotion of Visual Art and Filmverkstaden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Panu Johansson<\/strong> is a media artist and an experimental filmmaker from Finland. He works with moving images, photography and sound. His works have been exhibited in various festivals, exhibitions and microcinemas since the year 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Re-occurring themes in Johansson&#8217;s work are memories, landscape, the history of experimental film and cultural history. When working with moving images he prefers analogue film, though he is open to all materials. Johansson collects images and sounds eagerly and also likes to use &#8221;found footage\u201d materials whenever possible. His works could be described with terms such as landscape film, diary film or personal film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panu Johansson &#8211; Ajankuvan pitk\u00e4 h\u00e4nt\u00e4 14.11.-7.12.2025 | Galleria Ars Libera ke-su 13-17, vapaa p\u00e4\u00e4sy wed\/sun 1-5pm, free entry Tervetuloa\u00a0avajaisiin 13.11.2025 klo 18-20!
