Anna-Mari Nousiainen

“I saw it in the morning paper, an omen. / In my morning coffee I saw the entire milky way.” In Your Eyes Made Me Do It, the artist toys with morning rituals, heartache, obsessions, superstitions and modern magic.

The Eternal Sleep of the Man is a collaborative film by Sami Sänpäkkilä and Anna-Mari Nousiainen. The film depicts magical realism and seeks solace in our urban environment. In the passage titled #suomineito (Finnish maiden) a woman in blue clothes and blue hair hangs upside down from a rope in a tree. In the passage Kultasuu (Goldmouth) Nousiainen cuts her hair in the middle of a golden glitter rain and in another passage a man reads a burning book and sings of hope. The work is available as a nine minute short film with surround sound or as a 15 channel installation with two stereo audio channels.
