Accidental Lovers – production design
Independent

My diploma work is a set production for the TV film Vahinkolaukauksia (Accidental Lovers). It was shot during year 2005 and will be shown on TV1 in fall 2006. Vahinkolaukauksia is a new kind of black comedy that experiments the interaction of the viewers. The film strives for a visually rich, joyful touch where the set has a very important role.
For this exhibition a part of the set has been rebuilt a bit moulded. The exhibition set includes the bedroom and kitchen in the main character’s, the rising pop star Roope’s, apartment. Roope is played by actor Lorenz Backman.
Production designing is not a very well known subject among the audience. For me this exhibition is an opportunity not just to demonstrate this set but also an opportunity to bring out set designing in general.

Biography

My road to become a set designer has been long and winding. I have studied data processing, architecture and set designing. In the middle of the 1990’s I worked in the field of multimedia. Lately my working time has been divided between movies and repairing apartments. In set designing I’m fascinated about the fact that I’ll often have to use something from every part of my knowledge during one day.
