”Visuaalinen sonaatti parille peruukille ja kahdelle kilolle vehnäjauhoja”

Two characters, dressed in Rococo‑inspired costumes made from book pages and wearing wigs crafted from sheep’s wool, powder themselves and each other. What begins as restrained and controlled behavior gradually accelerates, becoming increasingly frantic—yet also comical—as the video unfolds. By the end, the characters are completely covered in wheat‑flour powder.

The video reflects pressures related to appearance and competition, drawing parallels between the Rococo era—marked by the excessive use of powder at the expense of personal health—and contemporary selfie culture and the constant editing of one’s image. Beneath the seemingly humorous action, more serious undertones gradually emerge.
