The garden before breath

Site specific installation2024

This little pearl of gallery space is located at the cultural center Lapinlahti in Helsinki. As the name suggests it used to be the morgue when Lapinlahti was still a mental hospital. As a scenery of the the installation work The garden before breath reaches to the nearby Hietaniemi cemetery, which is the old main cemetery in Helsinki just a stones throw away, where the fantastic artist and painter Hugo Simberg is having his rest. The work is a free form interpretation of, and a homage to one of his masterpieces, The garden of death.
