Kino Diana, Humalistonkatu 3

The Sacred Grove is a meditative video animation, made with Unreal 3d-Engine, an experience in a candle-lit forest. The work includes a forest pond, an abandoned hippie camp, cliffs and ravines. In contrast to the rugged beauty of the untouched forest, waste is everywhere. On the outskirts of the forest rises a dark factory, which pours waste barrels into the surrounding waters day and night.
