2019 The Ground Beneath Her Feet

The Ground Beneath Her Feet -videoinstallation and a single channel film directed by media artist Sara Pathirane is a collaboration with dancer-choreographers Laura Pietiläinen (Michaela-The Queen of Fucking Everything), Iina Taijonlahti and Suvi Tuominen.
The Ground Beneath Her Feet examines and contemplates the human relationship to the soil and the fragility and strength of the human body. In the art piece, the dancer-choreographers engage in dialogue with the nature sites Pathirane has filmed around the world. The movement and videos bring out the movement of the tectonic plates, the old tree in Songshan Mountain in central China, the misty river in Finnish Lapland, and the dry volcanic soil in Lanzarote, where only lichen has managed to form a thin layer of vegetation within three hundred years.
Palazzo Lucarini is the Museum of Contemporary Art in Trev, Italy, founded by Flash Art -art magazine.
The video installation opens with Palazzo Lucarini in 18.5.2019 and ends 23.5.2019. Curators Mara Predicatori and Maurizio Coccia.

New exhibition coming / Gallery Sinne Video Weeks 28.1–2.2
