Käpykaartin Paraati
The Parade of The Deserters 2025.
Kinetic sculpture in KITA 2025 exhibition.
A playful installation of cones & colour lights & mirrors. The cones fell off a pine tree, the cashier belt is from S-Market nearby KITA. The edge of mirror fell off a truck that traveled Highway 4 besides KITA. So this came to life automatically practically speaking. Pun intented. 🙂
Mieto ylösnousemus
A Mild Upheaval 2024.
Zoetrope at KITA 2024.
KITA had been an abandoned house from 1997 up until 2022 when the gallery was founded. Some young gangsters had been vandalising the inner surfaces. Mustard was squeezed all over the floors, walls even ceiling. There was even mustard television drawn in the former living room for some entertainment. In this artwork, this mustard is experiencing quick oscillating resurrections and immediate ascension to Valhalla of mustards.
AKA. SinapPinacoteca, Requirem for a Mustard.
