The video performance If You Fall, We Will Fall Too takes place in a primeval forest in Southwest Finland. Performance artist Leena Kela and seven performers of different ages and backgrounds have settled among the old trees. The performers move very slowly, rising and falling in different rhythms. The silence of the old conifers and the forest cover is matched by the slow movement of the human bodies, which one by one rise to a standing position and descend to the ground in a lying or squatting position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Fall, We Will Fall Too is a third part of the video trilogy Rest of Us, that deals with the post-human era. The trilogy is a series of video performances Leena Kela has created together with cinematographer Jussi Virkkumaa and it includes works There Is No Planet B (2020), Rest of Time (2021) and If You Fall, We Will Fall Too (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
