Animation with a kaleidoskope

A collaborative work with Markus Åström. With the help of a kaleidoskope and live streaming the audience manually produced their own animations. The Nekro Döner was presented at BUNKER Fest: SAUNA-FILM-DANCE-ROCK-VIDEO-PERFORMANCE-DJ-SCHWIMM-POLKA that took place 24th of January in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The happening was organized and curated by Maria Duncker as a part of her residency at the Kulturbunker,and included about 50 visual artists and musicians from Finland, Germany and elsewhere.

Spring in Berlin 1

Transaciones in Sibundoy, Putumayo, Colombia

Another summer is here. It's a long time since summer was here, and now it's here again. There you see. In between there's a year, but now I'm looking forward... will keep posting videos and photos again.

I just came home from Colombia, where I worked with the project Transaciones with my friend and college Juan Recaman. It was fantastic, which is an understatement. I want to go back as soon as possible.

On our Transaciones blog we will be posting videos and photos from Sibundoy vallery in Putumayo, Colombia. We also invite people to participate in the project. Primarily the locals, but anyone is welcome as long as it relates to the theme of "translation, transaction and transmission" - read more on the blog...

Summer is here

Life is good. I found a new home - and a studio...

The necessity of form

I thought I would start a series of artistic interventions in public space - from sculptures to.. whatever I can find. To continue the Prague theme I'll start with this monument to the writer Franz Kafka being carried by a golem like figure. The sculpture was created by a Czech artist Jaroslav Rona.

A coffee in Prague

The main railway station in Prague - upstairs.

The Cubist lamppost

I almost forgot: the symbol of Czeck kubism - the famous Cubist lamppost on Jungmannovo náměstí, designed by Emil Králíček.

I love cubism

All architects in the world, please join and make more cubist buildings! And the rest of you: if you go to Prague, don't forget to visit The House of the Black Madonna. It's a cubist building and a museum of cubism in Prague in the Czech republic. You can buy a cubist map and go hunting for cubist buildings and dream about a beautiful cubist world. Or buy some cubist ceramics - I bought a bowl for my cubist sugar cubes.

I left Kokkola behind me yesterday...
