OBSESSION - ENACTIVE CINEMA INSTALLATION BUILDS A DYNAMIC EMOTION ECOLOGY.Director Pia Tikka: Obsession is an attempt to describe, how the traumatic acts of violence not only affect the individual, but how his or her family and the life-environment are also violated. The narrative level of Obsession, in regard to its subject matter of "sex and violence" in our representational culture, brings this important subject matter to the focus of discussion. It is EMMI's (Maria Järvenhelmi) story, her confusion described within the excessive multiplicity of plausible point-of-views. Inside the four walls of a self-service launderette, young Emmi and an entrant stranger, Henrik (Matti Onnismaa),measure embodied distance. From their interaction, a loaded emotional situation emerges, framed by a trauma that Emmi and Emmi’s mother Jatta (Maija Junno) share. The distorted mind of  Emmi creates an endlessly wandering path of narrative potentialities and interpretations.  ***For more information on Enactive cinema installation Obsession in KIASMA 2005, e.g., press-photos, production team, collaboration credits, visit also URL: http://crucible.lume.fi/obsession
