BOOKS
With a curious and clear eye the narrator embarks on a wayward voyage of discovery. Marvel at the “volume of the moment”, where you travel fast and slow. Move on from a jaguar expedition to pensioner´s Tuesday in a local grocery store.
Travel with the blue line metro up towards the Sombrero Galaxy. Ariadne’s red silk thread illuminates the brain´s winding labyrinth and dances in dialogue with the unknown – or seemingly familiar.
Join us on an adventurous jungle safari, enter a swirling cosmic dance and watch the intricate pattern of the Milky Way in a knitting that never seems to end – imagine an electric hand mixer with a lifetime guarantee.
Whisk is a collection of short stories – or reflections – that capture movement and challenges both mind and body.

Serpent Holder
Electric silence
The psycho-physical glamour of Pahkinen’s text appeals to all the senses and her insatiably alert prose demonstrates that there is a lot more to a dancer’s life than merely eating apples under the pressure of strict training.
The evenings in bars and sensual encounters speak a universal language as part of the whole. They are not intimate confessions as such, but rather light ways to touch time and the world, find more meaning outside oneself, or alternatively lose the meaning in human doubt.
Meetings with friends, new acquaintances or one-night stands manifest the electricity created by chance. Yoga on the other hand offers the dance artist a way to concentrate her power through silence.
Meanings in Pahkinen’s dance grow from the inside out and back again, away from the flow of time. The ‘snake’, which varies in many ways throughout the book, also serves as a motif for the mythical cycle of life and death. It reflects the idea of metamorphosis: striving for the world and to escape the world, always in a new way.
