註釋Ahtila is best known for works that concentrate on narratives in human life together with the relationships and primal emotions that underlie them. She describes her films as 'human dramas' because they play on the central themes of our existence, such as love, death, sexuality, the difficulty of communication, and individual identity ndash; both its formation and disintegration. Her fictional stories emerge from interviews and extensive research, her own observation and memory. As Ahtila's films are often shown on multiple screens or within complex installations, her stories unfold simultaneously within time and space, thereby creating a multi-layered experience that engages the viewer both physically and emotionally. Her masterfully crafted narratives, striking portrayal of characters and highly individual mode of expression have captured public interest and won much critical acclaim. This catalogue has been published alongside the major solo exhibition of this renowned Finnish video artist at Parasol Unit, London (February ndash; April 2010) that includes three important moving image installations ndash; Where is Where?, The Hour of Prayer and Fishermen/Etudes no.1.
