A Monument for the Invisible
A Monument for the Invisible investigates urban Helsinki from a blind person´s perspective. The 2-screen video installation focuses on Ruoholahti neighbourhood and the Kamppi construction site. These areas represent new city planning, Ruoholahti being the high-tech hub of the town and the huge Kamppi construction site becoming another shopping centre made of glass. The film is realised in a close collaboration with the blind lead actress Johanna Röholm.
