Shadow Codex is a study on the abandoned facilities of Turku County Prison (1835–2007), and documents the layers of messages drawn, scratched and burned on the cell walls. The markings are pathways to the shadow world, to the darkness of an individual’s psyche, and expose a maladjusted underbelly which a society simultaneously both generates and hides. The 8mm film becomes the codex of a collapsed civilization and at the same time evidence of a forbidden zone in the centre of the city. The flow of images is punctuated by John Cage’s (1912–1992) composition “Perilous Night”, which has been described as a journey to the nocturnal side of the soul. |

They say that every atheist prays before dying. Small Silent Disorder proposes a dreamlike awareness about where we are and where we are going, a reverberation around the most elementary sensations. A fantasized journey through a collective memory, it is witness to a confrontation between seasons and seems to search, in the midst of desolation, for an autumn that temporarily gives us hope back.
