2017-2021. Iron, wood, pigments; antlers coated with reflective
paint.
Finnish reindeer herders have started spraying their antlers with
reflective paint. This is to avoid collisions with cars during the
dark.
The second object of the installation, Synchronous Movement. Encounter, is an allusion to the different living spaces of man and animal. It was born out of a real experience, the author's encounter with a wild deer in a dense forest. The startled animal's leap aside triggered a reflection on the different spaces – those of animals and us – whose relationship changes to their disadvantage. |
