Jan 2011 in Shanghai: Museum of Oblivion
Series of four dioramas in collaboration with Tatu Tuominen. Museum of Oblivion will be exhibited in January-March 2011 at Art+Shanghai gallery, Shanghai, China.
The four diorama sculptures deal with time. Time - not measured in seconds, hours, days or years - but earth time. It tells a story of decay in constructed environment and the human ability to quickly forget all catastrophes, even benefit from them, and continue living everyday life. It deals with nature’s ability to recuperate and take over.

Last Meal Menu @ Art Goes Kapakka
My site specific installation “Last Meal Menu” is showing 19-28.8.2010 at Restaurant KuuKuu in Helsinki. The show is part of Art Goes Kapakka- festival.
“Last meal menu” deals with nutrition and death. It consists of posters and menu booklets that document some of the final meal requests of death row prisoners.
The question is: what would you have as your last meal? Justice, equality or maybe world peace?

Inertia, a variation of car theme installation previously examined in Vanishing Point (Korjaamo Helsinki) and Ghost Drive, (Urban studies, Shanghai, China) is exhibited in Voimala, Riihimäki, as a part of Place/Space -exhibition. Inertia installation is strongly connected with Voimala as a unique and vanishing place. Installation is in connection with themes such as movement and stillness, energy and and its disappearence, growth and death. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion. Jukka Korpihete and Tuomas Laitinen have also composed the music heard in the background.
