salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears
Nastja Säde Rönkkö UK, FI, 2024, 14', DCP
If I crashed, I would bleed. And if I bled, I would be close to you, if I bled enough, I would be with you
Rönkkö’s poetic three-channel installation takes as its starting point the commonly held - yet incorrect - belief that blood contains the same amount of salt as sea water. Three narrators - a teardrop, a drop of Golden blood and a droplet of sweat tell their own stories of love and loss. The video is driven by a poetic text: an intimate verse with an ambiguity that delivers a metanarrative for lost and found identity, a scarred planet and our ever-changing world.
