Teeth
LASSI HÄKKINEN
Is it our memories that make us who we are?
Teeth is a work about time. The time, which goes on and makes memories. Eventually it is that same time that will make everything fade away. Faded memories become disconnected fragments instead of being something whole and familiar. They are pieces of an identity puzzle and little by little putting them together becomes harder and harder. Until finally the time is up.
Teeth is a video installation in the form of an extraction of a living room of somebody's grandparents. An old TV and a sofa chair, a fragment of a memory. There are four channels on the TV and one identity spread somewhere across them.
