PAULA SARASTE

1981 | Viitasaari | time and space

Being happy or unhappy or, as Kafka once said, having “the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy” – these were the thoughts that went through my mind as I was making this film for the graduates’ exhibition. I became absorbed in the movements of my mind and its dream-like states, perhaps also in the past. I grow fearful, I think to myself, without irony, child-like: How can I defend these images?
