Through body installations, the artist Milla-Maija Saari wants to reflect on inhumanity, alienness
and the anthropomorphic contradiction of whether we can see our bodies as anything other than
coherent human movement. The works are playful, even grotesquely theatrical, with a grey cloud hovering over them. The language of movement takes influences from flamenco and butoh, and one of the inspirations is German video artist Ulla von Brandenburg's Maskiert und vor allem (2022), a video work in which clown-like figures practice static patterns with their bodies.
