Unheroic Labours #2, 2020
By Maija Tammi and Charles Quevillon
HD 1080p, colour, sound, 11 min. 10 sec., 2020.
Mentor: choreographer Tedd Robinson.
The work revisits Hercules’s second labour, which was to kill the multi-headed water serpent Hydra. However, in the artwork, killing is replaced with dancing, and the monster Hydra is not the mythic hydra, but rather the real freshwater polyp Hydra. And cats like water.

One Picture Manifesto
Art exhibition 2019 –
The exhibition is a visual commentary on the practices of modern photographic art. One Picture Manifesto highlights the significance of a single photograph in a time that tends to celebrate serialism. The manifesto is also intended to encourage people to consider to what extent the form and even the very existence of photographic art is dictated by the parameters of photographic competitions, festivals and grant applications.
In the exhibition each artist presents one independent visual work of art that is not supported by long written descriptions or complementing works from the same artist. The first exhibition at the Finnish Museum of Photography (Autumn 2019) featured one work of art from Marja Pirilä, Harri Pälviranta, Maija Annikki Savolainen and Maija Tammi.



The 1m3 of Human Experiment, 2018
Maija Tammi and Charles Quevillon
Performance with video, 20 min.
The work is a vivid, claustrophobic, and possibly an occasionally nauseating artwork that examines the problematic separation of mind and body and questions the trustworthiness of our senses. In the work, a human confined in a square box tries to make sense of his world. A cable coming out of his mouth connects him to a simulation surrounding him. The work combines performance, audio, and video art.
