Risto-Pekka Blom:
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE

Single channel video, 11 min, 2021

Calls go to voice mail. Lonely cars and street lights roam the highway by night. People at the street view are connected by threads. The patient leads a perfect life.

Please leave a message after the tone is a story about disconnection, about the struggle with real life encounters and about living outside of your own life.
