The Nine Faces of Baba Yaga (from the series Et le passé revit le temps d’une visite)

The Nine Faces of Baba Yaga is a constantly changing representation of the witch’s hut on chicken legs as it might be described by different people sharing the story polyphonically. It belongs to a series titled Et le passé revit le temps d’une visite (And the past comes alive again for a visit), an interdisciplinary project implemented by visual artist Markus Jäntti-Tuominen and composer Walter Sallinen between 2017-2022. Combining fine art and music, the project draws its inspiration from the birth history of composer Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The artistic result is a ten part video piece that brings together visual and audio works created in the project and an audiovisual catalogue of Jäntti-Tuominen's visual works and Sallinen's compositions.
