"I spent the whole of April 2013 and half of August at Arteles, an artist space in Finland not far from Tampere. I was making loads of photographic and film work, and experimenting with organic processing techniques. There were 9 of us who were in residence at Arteles. When I was due to leave, I actually missed my flight – the first time in a lifetime of flights – and when I arrived back at Arteles that afternoon (much to everyone’s surprise!), this film is what happened… I see it as a sketch of life at Arteles, a line drawing with silver of a chance happening that I would have missed had I got on that flight." — M.J.

What does it take to say a word of love? How long and how much strength does it take for the heart to speak? How many streets at night? How fast? How many faces in how many bars? What tenderness? What pain? What music? What images in the mind? And where does it come from? Is it in the darkness of a closed park at night? In the back room of a Chinese bar? In the bottom of a beer? In a collective dance? In a sister's laughter? When does it finally happen? For the soul to let go.
