Ossi Vuori

About the Artist

Vuori (b. 2001) employs moving image, sound and text to explore seemingly fluctuating apparatuses; language, space, time and place. Their works often focus on contemporary social imaginaries that engage with questions of authorship, the relationship between truth and falsehood, and how the camera operates as their tool of choice.

About the artwork

A crew of students takes part in an un-making of the making of a video work and discovers the thrill of nothingness. Seemingly mundane conversations and unplanned camera angles grow into a multi-hour work, documenting the process of its own creation, stripped to its bare essence. Through filming and editing it explores something unique to moving image; capturing the very nature of being.

The work loosely follows the dramaturgical stages of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2.
