Whistling, wiggling my ears,
Thinking of something else.
It has so many cellars,
Such eelish delvings!
I am round as an owl,
I see by my own light.
Excerpt from Sylvia Plath’s poem “Dark House”
Umbra is a multidisciplinary exhibition and performance event experienced in the dark. Darkness becomes a surrounding condition and ambience, from which the artworks and performances appear. The exhibition site is a functioning underground shelter dug into a natural rock.
Umbra is supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland @taikegram and Saastamoinen foundation @saastamoinenfoundation #taiketukee #saatamoinenfoundation
