ESCAPES II



Installation Escapes II was part of an environmental art exhibition Viimeinen Puolukka - The Last Lingonberry organised in Kivinokka, a public open summer cottage and recreation area in Helsinki. The exhibition was open for visitors from June14th to October 30th 2014. From time to time the area is threatened by largescale master planning, and, time after time, saved by active citizens. Taking inspiration from the uncertain future of the place, the notions of transition and transformation were chosen as the main themes of our exhibition. The installation Escapes II is part of temporary landscape gestures that I create in order to respect the meaningful environments in my life. These gestures give momentary voice to the beauty and peace of those landscapes and invite us all to pause by the views in a planned manner. My installation framed the view most precious to me; a spot where the busy city cuts the beautiful cottage and wild nature scene. The art work encouraged other area visitors to follow me: to photograph a significant view and send it to me electronically afterwards.
