Faith is a Blindspot of Permanence

Using camera, light, and film as his materials, Niko Luoma’s working process is analogue. Luoma constructs his pieces with several overlapping exposures on one frame and one film. He claims that technically, his work happens inside of the camera, rather than behind or in front of it. Here, the exposure becomes content and the process becomes manifested in images.

For Oodi’s Kuutio space, Luoma creates a completely new work, a constant flow of these manifested images that capture the speed of seeing, the speed of hearing and the speed of existing in a space.

Faith is a Blindspot of Permanence is a collaborative creation, where the surrounding soundscape by saxophonist and composer Timo Lassy creates a persistent dialogue.
