emkay – "A Room With A View" (Snippets) by emkay / gem-K published on 2020-06-13T10:22:50Z “The confines of one’s own abode have become painstakingly familiar to most of us in the passing few months. Solitude, solitariness and confinement have marked the spring of 2020 as life has been halted by the covid-19 pandemic. In A Room with a View Maria Korkeila and her cohorts have approached the task of giving form to these sentiments through the one channel which has been absent from life lately; the so-called nightlife. If we consider nightlife as an entity, certain patterns often emerge as giving structure and shape to it – it often has an end a beginning which act as place holders for what can be characterized as a ”peak-time”. The difference with the confinement era has been that you never know when it’s peak-time. To approach A Room with a View one can turn to the thought of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy whose writings on community and communication offer reflections on this task of being together apart and articulating this aloneness qua togetherness. The absence of the physical presence of the other is not a negation leading us to an emptiness – it is only an exposition, an opening, a vista if you will. Hence, A Room with a View can be seen as a glance towards a future in a time marked with stillness. For in times of uncertainty, dancing and poetry are essential tools to communicate, whether together or separate, a view persists in the motion of body and thought. “ Text: Jaakko Rintala A Room With a View is an audiovisual compilation supported by Together Alone, an initiative launched by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes, offering support for art projects documenting the state of emergency caused by Covid-19.
