2023/08/16

For this milestone episode I thought it was a good time to check in with myself, and try another round of interviewing myself - exactly one year since the first attempt. And when I talk to myself we never end, so this is a conceptual episode in several chapters. I did two long interviews with myself in my studio in Helsinki, one in the daytime and one in the middle of the night, and then I edited parts of these recordings together as one long conversation - it ended up so long that I had to divide

I am back in Asbestos gallery in Helsinki for Jere Suontausta's solo exhibition Imponderabilia, consisting of a series of light-sculptures made of old cookie cutters and other recycled metal items.
