Abstract

This exposition consists of my video piece Voices of Consolation (2014) and my essay "Lohdutusten arkisto" ("An Archive of Consolation"). The video shows interior paintings by the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916). On the soundtrack a group of people are trying to console the black-clad woman seen in the paintings. In the essay I describe the process of making the piece. The essay's structure reflects the video: the text is like an apartment with several rooms.
