Taxidermy Surfaces

2024, solo exhibition

HAM Gallery, Helsinki Art Museum (FI)


Time is the one thing that can’t be stopped. Like a sharp blade, it silently cuts through hard and soft, constantly advancing. Nothing is capable of jolting it even the slightest bit, but it changes everything.

Excerpt from Liu Cixin’s novel The Dark Forest (translated by Joel Martinsen)

The soundscape of the exhibition was created in collaboration with composer Tapio Viitasaari.
