The film “Fall” is part of the artist duo’s broader project, Translucid Skins ~ strands ~ of us, and an outdoor exhibition scheduled to take place along the Öjen nature trail in early spring 2027. Set within a forest environment, this temporary exhibition will be presented as a regional art exhibition in collaboration with Vaasa Museums.
The film’s visual landscape is built around installations and site-specific works created by Bekim Hasaj and Valentina Gelain in various locations across Ostrobothnia. The project explores humanity, the environment, and coexistence through the lens of the land and nature. This examination of the land and environment serves as a starting point for personal reflection on the relationship between human beings and the world around them.
The sound for the video work “Fall ~ Translucid Skins” was created in collaboration with Stefan Backas and Annika Sillander.
The art project has received support from Svensk-Österbottniska Samfundet, the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike), Vaasa City, Bröderna Gröndahl Foundation, the South Ostrobothnia Regional Fund, and the Finnish Heritage Agency.
