the thing (e l i ö)  2018

site specific soft sculpture

Rajatalo-project in Keuruu, Finland

you know, when people are leaving people leave places

when people don´t come back when they don´t live in the houses anymore

it is time for   t h e   t h i n g   to become visible

it is time for   t h e   t h i n g   to take over the house, to spread

to place itself on walls on ceilings

for  t h e   t h i n g  there is a shelter, on the house, on the house

and a principled possibility for an unlimited growth

t h e   t h i n g   is red. it is bright red, dark red, purple, pink, violet. red striped, red checkered, red patterned. t h e   t h i n g   is mattresses mittens minishorts multiplies trousers ties skirts shirts scarves paddings blouses and playsuits. anyhow, it is needless stuff.

sewed and stitched
