It is spring, the birdcherry tree blooms. it is winter, its raining snow.
She walks in to the garden, it is summer, the ground is covered with fluff.
She is lost in the garden and in herself.
We have been friends for 15 years. KAKSI KÄRPÄSTÄ/TWO BIRDS is our video diary during one year. In August 2005 we started to send a DV cassette in the mail between Helsinki and Berlin. Both of us shot glimpses (37 together) on to the tape without ever checking the material.
Ein Mädchen irrt durch den Wald und begegnet dem Sandmann. Im Traum trifft sie die Waldbewohner, König Tapio, Königin Tellervo, Blaubeere, Erdbeere und Pilze. Sie tanzt mit ihnen und möchte am liebsten niemals wieder aufwachen.
The Little Girl gets lost in forest. She meets the dustman, who makes her fall in sleep under a big firtree. In her dream she meets the forestfolk; the King Tapio, the Queen Tellervo, little blueberry, strawberry and the big mushroom.
They dance together with the Little Girl, and she wishes never to wake up again.
The video is based on a finnish children song.
"If only you believe like I believe, baby
Wed get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would i" (Jefferson Starship)
A small poetic story from a lonely girl between the years 1999 and 2000.
She travels from Finland through Austria all the way to Africa and back, and finds love.
