Messengers Between Worlds, presentation by Johanna Sinisalo (audio)

Pixel ache

In her presentation, Finnish author Johanna Sinisalo talks about the meaning of wondering and questioning in her literary work. She also describes how reality relates to fiction and how they feed each other, particularly in her novel Blood of Angels, in which the Bees have a special role. Sinisalo considers herself as an author that likes the best to deal within “the zone where the frontier between natural sciences and the miracle is the most vacillating”. She continuously seeks inspiration from the latest scientific research, because “in the periphery of knowledge, in those holes and shadows, where the mystery exists, also the stories emerge”. The Bees are believed to be messengers of the Gods, passing though worlds, and in many cultures symbolising immortality. Sinisalo explains how extraordinary Bees are also from a natural/scientific point of view, and how they are a rich source of inspiration for an author - and how they can also be carriers between the sciences and arts. The presentation is part of Melliferopolis Fest program, curated and organized by Christina Stadlbauer and Ulla Taipale.
