The autumn storms were faster than us (cat edition).

The autumn storms were faster than us. Now the hut has collapsed. We hoped it would last a little longer. At least until we were back again. But in the end, it doesn't matter. In November, we will build a fire. With the wood from the hut. To close the project, together with the village. We will drink beer brewed from the rye grown in our field. And then it will all be over. But until then, there's still a lot to do.

[PRESERVED // Rågens rike / Finland 2024-25 deals with the question of the identity-creating significance of rye for Finland - especially in the region of Vörå, resp. Ostrobothnia - and how this relationship can be reflected artistically ("Rågens rike" means "Kingdom of Rye" and describes this very region - Finlands granary) The project is hosted by Abramsgården in Vörå (Vöyri) in the Swedish speaking part of Finland, a cultural center in the countryside run by Dorothee Schulte-Basta and Peter Lüttge.

Not trying to be a smart ass or trying to be rude in any way, but some of this wood looks renewable so why chose to burn it?
The wood we used has already been used several times, it was given to us by neighbours or we found it thrown away somewhere. Also it is mouldy, wet and crooked. Once we leave it would not be used again but be burned anyways. And the reason why we will burn the hut is a conceptual one, we will end the project by coming together and make a fire to celebrate the closure after one year. So the wood becomes part of the cycle we started a year ago. Does that answer it?
@PRESERVED_ScheibeundGuentzel Thank you for taking the time to answer me 🙏
