Tellervo Kalleinen (FI): In the middle of a movie

Tellervo Kalleinen participated in the ANTI –Festival with her organic video project In the middle of a movie, that started in 2000 when she was living in Hamburg. Kalleinen posted adverts in newspapers and lampposts saying: ”Plan a movie scene in your home and give me a role in it”. Thus far Kalleinen has acted in about 50 homes in Hamburg, Helsinki, Tallinn, St. Petersburg as well as Iceland. At ANTI-Festival in the middle of a movie -scenes can be viewed in a genuine Kuopio home. A new scene was filmed in the very same home in August 2003, again conceived entirely by the homeowner.

Tellervo Kalleinen graduated in 2003 with a MA in Arts from th Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. She has concentrated in video and performance art and her works are marked by ample humour and a relaxed interaction with the audience.
