EVERYDAY IS HOLIDAY // HIAP RESIDENCY // SPRING 2020 VOL.2
THIS PROJECT WAS CREATED IN THE DARKEST COVID TIMES IN HELSINKI SPRING 2020.
WE WERE SEALED IN OUR BOXES. LUCKILY MY BOX WAS BIG ENOUGH. I STAYED IN A BIG ART RESIDENCY RUN BY ONE OF THE MOST CONSIDERABLE ART INSTITUTIONS OF FINLAND – HIAP.
EVERY MONTH I MADE A CHALLENGE TO MYSELF. IN MAY I WAS MAKING THE PROJECT EVERYDAY IS HOLIDAY. EVERYDAY I LOOKED THROUGH THE CALENDAR AND TOOK THE DATE THAT WAS SOMEHOW IN TOUCH WITH ME. EVERY DAY I PUBLISHED THE VIDEO IN MY SOCIAL MEDIA.

She has a deep and continuing relationship with a wide range of dance forms and traditions – from classical ballet to butoh and flamenco – and often gets her inspiration from her own personal history and experiences, in combination with a direct engagement with the here and now of life as she lives it. Three often-recurring themes in her work are Happiness, Time and Memory. View all posts by Josef Ka
