Your Champions, Your Dreams (2020)
In 2019 Sophia Ehrnrooth set up a film studio and workshop in the contemporary art museum MACRO Asilo in Rome. She invited passersby to participate and recite the names of as many football players as they could remember by heart in order to re-create her 2017 work 879 Heroes by Heart. When the participants reached the point where they could no longer remember any more players, the artist asked them to answer one personal question.
108 Beats (2018)
108 Beats (2018) is a single-channel video piece in which a succession of footballs flashes up against a black background in the rhythm of a heartbeat. The number 108 has symbolic significance in many religions around the world. Both Buddhists and Hindus use 108-bead mala strings in prayer and meditation.
879 Heroes by Heart (2015)
Multichannel media work intended for a gallery context. Displayed in various exhibitions between 2015 and 2019.
