From the 30th floor, I see the whole area.
Of all that's human-made here, only the highway along the coast looks
hand-drawn.
By dutifully filling my square, am I becoming one?

Launch of the Meadow-project at Galleria Huuto
In an urban space, transforming a lawn into a flower meadow. Walking around the area, outlining the boundaries. Sand in the middle of the area. Gridding the area with ribbons. Attaching 7 tent pegs a meter apart, measured by the body, to one side. Unfolding 5-meter-long ribbons forward. Securing them to the other end. Attaching 6 tent pegs, unfolding and securing the ribbons to the other end. Scattering ash on the area. Arranging 19 bamboo sticks according to the map. Cutting the ribbons and removing the tent pegs. Lighting the sage inside the bamboo sticks. Photos: 1: Timo Tähkänen, 2 &3: Stanislava Ovchinnikova 4-7: Ilkka Kilpeläinen

To whom you always waved. You had that system of sorts.
- We did.
That… That Mrs. Luukkainen brought us lace tea napkins - when they traveled south for a holiday and Jaana was with us that week.
– Yes. I remember.
Those napkins are quite pretty. They´re over there in the glass display cabinet.

I had dug up a 1.5 x 5 m
cotton batiste that had been underground for two years and now I placed it
on top of a reflective metal floor. With a 20-meter long clean batiste I went to the sea and returned to care for the
buried painting with this human sized bandage.
