Throwback Thursday

Since our last project in Finland has now been completed, I will be sharing images from past events that took place as part of our project series PRESERVED at irregular intervals from now on.

Lämpöpaikka

We created this intervention in the frame of a residency grant at platform Vaasa in Finland in 2013 and presented it during a Performance Festival in Seinäjoki in public space. A small stove was connected to an electrical outlet that is normally used in winter to keep car engines warm (Lämpöpaikka/värmeplats) in order to cook jam. The berries used for preserving were provided to us by visitors to the event. During the whole stay in Vaasa we dealt with the berry culture in northern Europe.

Coffee to go

Performance presented at Performance Festival Perform now! Winterthur, Switzerland in 2015. After sewing a "trunk" made of lids for coffee-to-go cups the artist wandered around, stared at people, stopped in front of walls and eventually opened the trunk again to throw the lids on the floor. She then disappeared.
