\u201cMinulla on vain t\u00e4m\u00e4 haluni paeta maailmoihin.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0Ja pys\u00e4hty\u00e4 hetkiin, jolloin nauru ja itku eiv\u00e4t ole viel\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4sseet valloilleen\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

ja oleminen tuntuu kurkunp\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4 ja vatsanpohjassa.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Niin.. minulla on vain t\u00e4m\u00e4 haluni.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kuuletteks te?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nelj\u00e4 henkil\u00f6hahmoa rakentavat kerroksellista fiktiota kameralle. He etsiv\u00e4t hekumaa, katharsista, emansipaatiota. Sentimentum kuvaa mielikuvituksen tuottamia kerroksellisia haluja. Henkil\u00f6hahmoilla on kyky kuvitella fantastisia maailmoja, joissa vallaton energia virtaa j\u00e4nnittyneiden ruumiiden v\u00e4lill\u00e4 ja niiden l\u00e4vitse. Teos kuvaa hahmojen tarvetta kokea ruumiissaan sellaista hurmiota, jonka voi kokea vain eskapistisiss\u00e4 fantasioissaan.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kai t\u00e4ss\u00e4 my\u00f6s my\u00f6nnet\u00e4\u00e4n, ett\u00e4 he vieh\u00e4ttyv\u00e4t sentimentaalisesta ja ett\u00e4 he janoavat pateettisia loppukohtauksia.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sentimentum on Venla Heleniuksen yksityisn\u00e4yttely, jonka keski\u00f6ss\u00e4 on n\u00e4yttelyn nime\u00e4 kantava yksikanavainen videoteos. Kestoltaan 28 minuuttinen videoteos esitet\u00e4\u00e4n galleria Ars Liberassa aina puolen tunnin v\u00e4lein, tasapuolituntisin alkavin esitysajoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venla Helenius (1989) on Helsingiss\u00e4 sek\u00e4 Berliiniss\u00e4 asuva ja nykytaiteen kontekstissa ty\u00f6skentelev\u00e4 kuvataiteilija, joka ty\u00f6skentelee videon, installaation sek\u00e4 performanssin parissa. Lis\u00e4ksi h\u00e4n ty\u00f6skentelee freelancer valokuvaajana.\u00a0 Helenius on valmistunut Aalto-yliopistosta taiteen maisteriksi vuonna 2018 ja viimeistelee kuvataiteen maisterin tutkintoaan Taideyliopiston Kuvataideakatemiassa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I have is my desire to escape to other worlds.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And to pause for moments when laughter and crying have not yet been unleashed,\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

and being feels in the back of your throat and in the pit of your stomach.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes… I only have this desire of mine. Can you hear me?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four characters construct a layered fiction for the camera. They are looking for thrill, catharsis, emancipation. Sentimentum depicts layered desires produced by imagination. The characters of the piece possess the ability to imagine fantastical worlds where unruly energy flows between tense bodies and through them. The piece portrays the need of the characters to experience in their bodies such bliss that can only be experienced in escapist fantasies.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Supposedly it also acknowledges that they are fascinated by sentimentalism, and yearn for<\/span><\/p>\n

melodramatic finales.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sentimentum is a video work made by Venla Helenius and the working group. Single-channel 28-minute video will be screened at the Ars Libera Gallery every half hour, starting at half-hourly intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
