The Shopping Centre Trilogy 2003-2010

Over the span of eight years I worked on a series of film installations in European shopping centers and public spaces.

The first film is entitled ”A Monument for the Invisible”. It was filmed in Helsinki, Finland, in 2003. The second, ”Soprus-Druzhba (Friendship)” was realized in Tallinn, Estonia in 2006. Finally, ”La Ruine du Regard” is the third and final part of the trilogy located in ”Les Halles” Paris, completed in 2010. The central theme of the whole trilogy is gaze. It starts with the blind protagonist’s cane in Helsinki’s glossy new center, passes by the curious regards of teenagers, who meet each others in the historically dense urban Tallinn, and ends up in the overpopulated central metro station of Paris, where hundreds of thousands of gazes cross each other everyday.
