Open call for geese
The summer was coming to an end, and the Barnacle geese gathered on the grass field of Porolahti in the same place as last spring, and the previous one. I was thinking, what if non-occurrence and lack of spectacle is exactly what maintains tension and potentiality? Maybe the geese don’t miss my experiments. So who … Continue reading Open call for geese
Portrait of a Barnacle goose
I continued my experiments with Barnacle Geese. This time I showed the geese their self-portraits, and they seemed a little bit interested. At the same time, I received comments from passers-by who had paid attention to my choreography that followed the movements of the geese.
Off painting variations
In April 2020, I worked at the mall of Itis, eastern Helsinki. Original idea was to ask people around the mall to participate in the off-painting process, but Covid-19 changed my plan.

It is a context, it surrounds and it generally consists of many sounds coming from different directions and of differing characteristicsé Soundscapes surround and unfold incomplex symphonies or cacophonies of sound.

Act 5
Ownership is a work in which I take on the dog owner's imaginary dimension, because I do not own a dog myself. The similarity of the imaginary situation shifts to the real one.

Working with Barnacle Geese / Porolahti, Helsinki 12.8-18.8.2019 At first, the geese behaved suspiciously and moved elsewhere as I approached them.

It was fascinating to work with these individuals - waiting for the next form of collaboration. https://vimeo.com/467779995
