Transparency: To Observe, To Source, To Burn
by Maria Shilnikova
Transparency is a conversation held between five voices, five perspectives, five ways of seeing.
This film moves through light and material, asking what it means to be open: in the sourcing of matter, in the honesty of making, in the translucency of porcelain when bone is folded into clay.
Three gestures guide the journey:
To Observe: to slow down and truly see the everyday.
To Source: to know where things come from, and why that matters.
To Burn: to transform, to give back, to let material speak.
The video was created using the dialogues with Maarit Mäkelä, Priska Falin, Albert Franch, Eeva Jokinen, Kanae Uehara.
