Duration 9.10 min. loop.
Solo exhibition at Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art, as part of the program: The Temporary Institute of Artistic Research into Ways of Coexistence.
The exhibition program was curated by Mikkel Elming and the exhibition-architecture for the temporary institute was created by the Danish artist and director of the artist collective Sisters Hope: Gry Worre Hallberg.
The Temporary Institute was created in response to the current ecological, social and biological crises, and to encourage artists to reflect on and investigate alternative ways of coexistence that can create a better world.
The institute was divided into two rooms: in the first one was to unfold perspectives on coexistence and interaction between humans and the more-then-human. In the second room was to leave behind a small presentation reflecting on the artistic research that had been conducted while inhabiting the institute.
The white light in the ceiling was changed to a green light, which made the red wall curtains, which were part of the already established exhibition architecture, look black instead. This shift in color, moved away the focus from the red human body to the green plant body instead, and made all the visitors of the exhibition, turn green and light up, as they moved around the black dark room of the exhibition, mimicking the colours of the plants in the videos.
