Ela Kazdal (b. Istanbul, Turkey) is a London-based artist working across moving image, sculpture, installation, and print. She engages with film as both material and experience, deconstructing its forms to explore how images exist beyond the screen.

The performance will be held @ The Sugar Factory, Frilundintie 2, 3rd floor, Entrance to the right of the Kellotorni building, Friday June 27th kl(o) 19:30.

During their residency, artist duo Bigum+Björge have continued their exploration called ephemeral beings, working through an intuitive and nature connected lens. Their practice investigates the interplay between human imagination and nature, expressed through 16mm film and still photography. Using a poetic visual language, they engage with nature through themes of belonging, understanding, and the rediscovery of a pure, childlike sense of playful creativity. Through pareidolia—the instinct to perceive familiar forms in abstract patterns—they create a subconscious dialogue between perception and the shapes, materials, and structures found in nature. Deeply inspired by a workshop with Greg Pope, which marked the beginning of their residency, Bigum+Björge’s work culminates in an expanded cinema performance.

In the Window is a group exhibition presenting photographs made using analog methods, centered around themes of nature, everyday life, and the sensitivity of the gaze. The exhibition is curated with the idea of the window not only as a physical space, but also as a metaphor for a gaze that pauses, lingers, and turns inward. The view from a window may remain the same day after day – but the light, the season, the mood, and the point of focus all shift. In much the same way, photography is born from a delicate reaction: an encounter whose uniqueness often lies in small details. The photographs in the exhibition have been created using a variety of analog techniques.
