Shadow Codex (2021)
Overview: The graffiti on the grey concrete walls of the disused prison in Turku are like cave paintings from a lost civilisation in the Finnish artist Saara Ekström’s ‘Shadow Codex’ which with a simple but overwhelmingly suggestive approach lets text drawings and the shabby pinup posters speak their own language about incarceration and institutionalised punishment. Each cell is a gallery an indexical imprint of the anonymous inmates’ minds from a past conjured forth by the film’s timeless black and white 16mm images with a gloomy melancholy that borders on madness. But at the same time the surveillance machinery the architecture and the many layers of engravings tell us about a society which in its attempt to maintain law and order creates monuments of its own shadow – set against John Cage’s ‘Perilous Night’.
