The Hour of Prayer
AHTILA, Eija-Liisa
We’re working on releasing this image.
Eija-Liisa Ahtila takes the viewer on a journey in her video work The Hour of Prayer. The work tells the story of dealing with grief starting in a January storm in New York and ending in Benin, West Africa eleven months later. The work is based on Ahtila’s own life.
