Salla Tykkä. Short Titles, Ludwig Museum, Budapest, 6 October 2018-6 January 2019

This is archived material. It is for reference purposes only.

Award-winning filmmaker Salla Tykkä brings her work to the Ludwig Museum.

Salla Tykkä has been riding the wave for several years now. With recent shows as far as Belfast and Istanbul, the Finnish filmmaker has delighted the critics and picked up several prizes, including the Canon Tiger Award for Short Film in 2014. All this bodes well for your visit, if you decide to leave the painting galleries behind for an afternoon.

Through a very particular creative process, Tykkä has produced the works on display here. Her initial inspirations are personal memories and dreams. These are then reworked so that they show what remembering looks and sounds like. The finished product is so general that it lacks “context”, and is open to any number of interpretations.

You’ll like the sound of this if you’ve been put off by arty film shows in the past, which had obscure or esoteric points to make. Tykkä’s subject matter is human experience, though not always in a plain guise.
