Haihara Artcenter exhibition by fine artists Tomas Regan and Sami Sänpäkkilä. The works are collaborative works combining video and drawing.
Psychedelic Alphabet for the Newborn
Psychedelic Alphabet for the Newborn is a video I made as a present for my dear friends newborn baby. Life is full of beauty, violence, comfort, danger and lipstick. Even for the newborn.
The Big Crunch
The Big Crunch is a video installation that communicates the presence of humans on earth and human intelligences take on the apocalypse. It is an examination on how humans react to the end of the world and how we read signs and symbols found in nature to try to demystify our existence.
21st Century Portrait
21st Century Portrait is a triptych that consists of three portraits filmed at an extreme close-up with a high-definition videocamera. Each of the three portrait consists of well over 1500 still frames played back in less then a minute. Every millimeter of the body is displayed 25 frames per second.
Aurinkokellari – The Suncellar
The Suncellar is an installation and is projected on five separate screens that require three rooms. All screens require stereo sound. The extensive work Aurinkokellari (2006) features a prophetic sequence of events. In the film, an eccentric character in control of human life “removes” three people. The impression, akin to death, is frightening in its severity.

Kubistisia kukkia liikkeessä
Super 8 filmille kuvattu tanssi joka on editoitu kukkasiksi. Kädet aloittavat Mozartin tahdissa kunnes toiseen osaan liittyvät jalat ja vihdoin kolmanteen koko vartalo. Mustassa universumissa tanssiva tyttö rikkoo nykytanssin sääntöjä ja luo omansa. Koreografiat on luoto ensin ihmisen keholle ja editointivaiheessa filmille.
