In 2022 I had dug up a 1.5 x 5 m cotton batiste that had been underground for two years and now placed it on top of a reflective metal floor. I had a 20-meter clean batiste with which I went completely into the sea and returned to care for the buried painting with the wet batiste and myself on top of the mirror. Project was supported by Kone Foundation and Paja&Buro.

For the piece 2 Days in November,  I employed a contact speaker to lead the collective sound of the 6-meter-tall installation and the 300-year-old defense wall during a winter storm, which resonated with a metallic sculpture.

At HIAP Suomenlinna, I used the embrasures high on the old defense wall of my studio to let the works fly free outside while recording their sound. Link to the Early Blue -video documentation
