Strange Voices

Dimples of Tundra Time and place lose their meaning when a man searching a lost yoik in the highlands has a discussion with the The Father, The Sun. Of what nature is the face I will inherit if the dimples of tundra fail to provide the forgotten words.

Promenade travers la vi... Images exploded, abandoned, silently between childhood and schizophrenia. Color filtered delirium. Hallucinated journey.

Black Lives Matter Black Lives Matter is a performance about police brutality faced predominately by African-American population due to deep rooted racism. The performance depicts a fictitious police officer writing uncountable times Black Lives Matter on a chalkboard wall as a form of non-violent penalty.

Remedies - Rongo... There is a long tradition for various methods for healing – the individual, the collective, society or nature. Artists Huber and Saarikko choreographed this performance or video action during a residency in Wellington, New Zealand, much inspired by the local Maori culture, but also by the imminent threat of nature – earthquake and tsunami – against a city which is located on the very edge of a potential disaster. The participants of the collective performance are also co-authors of the work.

Remedies - Remedies The Australian edition of Remedies casted Mildura natives to contribute eucalyptus tree related unwritten narratives and oral histories for an individual and collective portraiture. Earth bound clay object-action cements the liminal stories and realities around the complex legacy of postcolonial wake into a collective stem. The project was conceived by the Finnish-Swiss artist duo Sasha Huber and Petri Saarikko and consisted of a series of filmed sessions around Mildura. During each session, participants were invited to share eucalyptus tree related remedies, these were choreographed and edited into an installation piece.

Karakia - The Resetting ... Huber travels with a greenstone carver Jeff Mahuika (Kati Mahaki, Poutini Kai Tahu) to the site, between Kā Roimata a Hine Hukatere (Franz Josef Glacier) and Te Moeka o Tuawe (Fox Glacier) at Te Waipounamu (South Island) of New Zealand. On location Mr Mahuika offered a karakia blessing to symbolically un-name the glacier of its association with Agassiz and his racism.

Pnlope... An abstract film

Rentyhorn In the work Rentyhorn, Huber renames a mountain that has been known by the name of an influential Swiss-born naturalist and racist from the late 1800s’, Louis Agassiz. The mountain’s new name Rentyhorn commemorates Renty, a slave who Agassiz ordered to be photographed on a South Carolina plantation “to prove the inferiority of the black race”.
