Description: This video shows impressions from the Nostalghia artwork by Jaakko Niemelä. For this project we were commissioned to simulate the destruction of a huge container ship and capture the different phases of its decay. The simulation was done with Blender. Jakko Niemelä is a Finnish artist who has made destruction and the decomposition of structures an essential part of his art-making. During the past seven years, he traveled the oceans tracking his father´s routes who was a ship captain. Jaakko never really got to know his father and as a child often imagined the dangerous situations he might be in during his trips. With the Nostalghia project, Jaakko processes his fears and the relation to his father. Nostalghia is shown from 14.12.2019-15.3.2020 at the Helsinki Art Museum, HAM. The installation at HAM displays a huge illuminated scaffold structure with sails that are blown by wind machines.
