Underwaterlibrary -

mobilis in mobili

Video installation 2020

An animator who marvels at nature.
She builds an underwater library and travels eons of time to a nature before humans created culture.

Jules Verne's character Nemo inspires with his world escapism and his signature "Mobilis in mobili", a moving object in a changing medium. "Mobilis in mobili" becomes a mantra where we move with animation in time and space.

We are all atoms

`We are all atoms´ are created together with a dancer during a month's residence at Kunstlerhaus Dortmund. At the bottom of the basement in the house is a sealed doorway to the coal mines: "Associations go to the city of Dortmund and that we humans are all part of a common system and that we together with all living things consist of the same basic elements, carbon atoms."

Regi: Kristina Frank and Mervi Kekarienen.

Music: Lars Hollmer

2Rabbits visits human civilization. The landscape is surreal and magical, but there are also traces of human predation. They are open to what they see and without condemning they seem to understand. They get harmed but always succeed in their resurrection.

No one knows that Kristina actually has no home. That she prefers it that way - a permanent home is overrated. Kristina follows her heart, but she also wonders “Why is it so natural for most people, but not for me? "So she goes on a research trip to ask" What does "home for you" mean?
