Christmas of the Rooster 2006 (á 6 min 13 sec) DV 4:3.
This is a documentation of a performance that took place on the western shore of Harakka island, Helsinki. I am standing, sitting and walking with a red scarf on my head and a light in my hand on the western cliffs of Harakka Island, at Christmas time, 13 times, with two-hour intervals, from 25 December 2005 at 3 pm to 26 December at 1 pm.
The poem Tomten [the gnome] by Victor Rydberg was added while editin, here complemented by versions with subtitles in Finnish (translation Yrjö Jylhä) and in English (translation Judith Moffet).
