Selfies
(2013-)
Working Group: Iida-Maria Heinonen, Hannu Kivioja, Esa Mattila, Jonna Nykänen, Kati Raatikainen, Petra Vehviläinen.
Selfies is a lifelong performance project. We explore how a portrait of a person, within a collective process, can be shaped into a living performance. In our work, we ask whether it is possible to share perceptions and emotions—felt as part of one's self and inscribed in the materiality of the body—with others. Can we concretely become one another and perform each other to one another? Alongside individual identity, we strive to find what is shared and relatable. We have presented different versions of this ever-evolving performance at, among others, Kiasma Theatre during the URB 2016 festival, the Roolit festivals in 2014 and 2016, and on the Diana stage with the Blaue Frau group in 2014.
