On the evening of September 9th and 10th, 2025, a unique site-specific film ‘‘Nostalgia Chronotopes’’, created and directed exclusively for Tallinn City Hall, will be screened.

The work transforms Linnahall into a living narrative environment, inviting audiences to walk through the space and experience a multi-channel film projected into its architecture. Through spatial storytelling, original and archival footage, Chronotopes of Nostalgia gives voice to personal and collective memories shaped by this historically and emotionallycharged site.

The film features the stories of three characters:

Husik, a 75-year-old Armenian construction worker returning with his son to a place he helped build; Luis, a 30-year-old Colombian musician reliving a painful turning point in his life; Milvi, a 50-year-old Estonian woman, she has witnessed and participated in many of the changes that have taken place in Linnahall. Co-created with members of the public through participatory workshops.

These narratives are layered through image, sound, and architecture, inviting visitors to complete the story through their movement and presence in the space.The project is the result of the artistic research led by Diego Barajas Riaño, as part of their doctoral work at Tallinn University and supervised by professors Dirk Hoyer and Alessandro Nanì.

Chronotopes of Nostalgia employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining filmmaking, archival research, public participation, and experience design. “Linnahall is a shared space that feels as intimate as a personal place. It holds memories, imagination, and dreams. Chronotopes of nostalgia make invisible connections visible. A form of nostalgia that wants to brings us together, not apart.. ” says Diego Barajas.
