Jenni Toikka
A woman starts playing Chopin’s Prelude Op.28 No.2 under another’s gaze : Jenni Toikka clearly references and reworks Ingmar Bergman’s Autumn Sonata. The camera moves to reframe the pianist, while the music becomes an inner melody. The frame tightens again, and the pianist has become the viewer, listening to the other play: first of many permutations that blur spatial boundaries and switch positions. The film doubles back over itself and starts again. In eight minutes, splits and diffractions multiply into infinity. (Nathan Letoré)
