In 2022 I had dug up a 1.5 x 5 m
cotton batiste that had been underground for two years and now placed it
on top of a reflective metal floor. I had a 20-meter clean batiste
with which I went completely into the sea and returned to care for the
buried painting with the wet batiste and myself on top of the mirror. Project was supported by Kone Foundation and Paja&Buro.

For the piece 2 Days in November, I employed a contact speaker to lead the collective sound of the 6-meter-tall installation and the 300-year-old defense wall during a winter storm, which resonated with a metallic sculpture.
