Keltanen (Yellow) is a visit to a world which manifests as a range of sensations. The momentary nature of sensations carries with it excitement, discovery, and forgetting. The piece gathers and then lets go of what it has gathered. It surfaces and it recedes.

Keltanen is a dance piece and an installation connecting sensory and synesthetic experiences. The starting point for Keltanen was a fascination with the colour yellow, which in the work itself is approached through a subjective experience. The ryijy rugs in the installation serve as a choreographic element, having resulted from a close interaction with the movement elements of the work.

Keltanen creates an interplay of sensory transpositions and surfaces: sound is visible and movement coloured. The exhibition draws out a world where sensory events are portrayed through a combination of movement, word-sound and different creatures. The work features a poem by Milka Luhtaniemi and a soundscape designed by Mitja Nylund.

Laura Jantunen (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of dance, video, and textiles. Colours, the tactility of materials, movement and the senses, as well as the gentle atmospheres of spaces, bring her endless joy. In her practice she examines movement, experience and perception as philosophical questions. Jantunen applies philosophy, especially phenomenology, in her work as a way of trying to clarify the world around her.
