Medicine City
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
A big, illuminated installation surprises the viewer. At first it seems like a beautiful and a mesmerizing night time cityscape: realizing the material of the buildings takes the themes of the artwork into deeper levels. Medicine City is made of tens of thousands used and empty medicine aluminium packages (pill blister packs).
The artwork is about medicalization of our society. It is also about how cities can be seen as a medicine for loneliness and light as a medicine against fear.
Installation has been shown in:
Tampere City Art Museum,Finland, Suomesta Gallery Berlin, Germany, Kuopio City Art Museum, Finland, and in LUX Helsinki Festival, Finland
