Pagan

A rotating merry-go-around-house with rotating table inside.

The house is build from old lumber boards. The inside is covered with satin-like veil. The house rotates slowly as it invites people to come inside and view inside the table it contains.

Mountebank

A mirror piece-covered trailer with bright blinking lights on its door. Inside there is mummified squirrell, empty bottles and footage projected from several surveillance cameras.

The trailer is trap-like creation, menacing construction that is designed to attract people close to its presence so it can steal their souls into bottles. It is combination of freak-show and reflection on differences between tolerant and fundamentalist attitudes. The mummified sqirrell is embodiment of horror of death. It's a tool, another bait for individuals' fundamental self-reflective needs.

Picture footage first from Jetty Barracks Gallery (first version with proper lights) and then from Taidehalli, Helsinki (improved vesion with worse enviroment).

The mummified squirrell was damaged during this latter building of "the mountebank" so this was its last venue before the final use which will be something completely different.

Passage

Installation with miniature boat with motor and wireless video camera. It is moving in a puddle inside a pit. The camera inside the boat is filming small, shiny objects under the surface of the puddle. The viewer is able to get a glimpse of those objects from a round projection screen behind the pit.
