The second part of the four-part short film series continues the dialogue based on the correspondence between a Finnish artist Miia Autio and a Beninese diviner Koffi Robert Djossou. Through this dialogue, the artist delves into the mystery of water and the secrecy of Vodun, seeking to let go of her desire to understand everything thoroughly. In the film, the surface of the water acts as a mirror reflecting the ambiguous relationship between faith, images, and reality. At the same time, the flow of water carries these questions through shifting cultural contexts.

Bio

Miia Autio is a visual artist with a background in documentary photography. She holds an MFA from the Time & Space Department of the Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki (2022). Autio's practice is often grounded in visual anthropology and in her more recent works, she has personally taken on the role of interlocutor, seeking interaction around the themes of her artworks. Her works explore the boundary between the visible and the invisible, as well as the impact of images on the construction of different worldviews.
