Catalogue > At random

A lone airplane flies high over a dark landscape. Amid fields of untouched snow a rover is scanning both the ground and the stars, and is beginning to be troubled by the history it was once fed. People isolated inside the plane try to interpret the rover’s increasingly complex messages, while attempting to uncover the past and the future.

Appu Jasu (b.1987) is an artist living in Helsinki working with video, sound, photography and text. In his works fiction, documentary and the absurd meet and exchange ideas about life and society. His practice involves thinking through all the included mediums – picture, text and sound – each taking their turn leading the artwork into a new direction. Jasu’s video works can be found from the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma and Helsinki Art Museum, and they have been shown e.g. in WNDX, Canada and in doclisboa, Portugal.
