Archipelago Science Fiction


Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen, 2011-12
Commissioned by CAA (Contemporary Art Archipelago)
Curated by Taru Elfving and Lotta Petronella

The work shows four possible future scenarios for the Finnish archipelago. Using web questionnaires and face to face interviews we mapped islanders´worst and best case scenarios about the future of the archipelago. In 3 workshops at Utö, Houtskär and Korpo the islanders then produced cinematic ideas portraying bleak or optimistic visions of the archipelago in the year 2111. Four ideas were then realized with more than 100 locals acting in the films. The four scenarios are: paradise for an aging elite, lifestyle immigration, neo-capitalism , outdoor museum. Archipelago Scifi is a collaboration with Swedish film-maker Henrik Andersson.
