In the summer, they descended upon the small island, the men preceded by their bellies, the women gently stretching their bare, plump arms. The island, hungry, ate them up, arms and bellies and all, leaving only the occasional bathing suit or slipper. That summer, a catastrophe at the nuclear power plant emptied the lake. The dam gaped open, crying until the water was nearly gone. The island grew fat, sitting in the sandy earth, as new firs were planted and old ones chopped down. (Summer Ambiance)*


Intra-Structures - Monster of the Seven Lakes
Group exhibition curated by Jussi Koitela at Treignac Projet, France, 2017

An exhibitionary entanglement with art works by Sabrina Chou, Caroline Doolin, The Otolith Group and Laura Põld, Moomin books by Tove Jansson and various intra-structural narratives. Intra-Structures – Monster of the Seven Lakes is an entanglement of artistic commissions, pre-existing art works and curatorial ideas by Jussi Koitela. It creates a narrative that challenge material, geographical, economic and infrastructural ethico-onto-epistemological orders of modernity and progress. The aim is to trigger knowledge from within merged stages of queer human-nonhuman landscapes, geo-economic-infrastructures and global earthly connections.

Some of the works were produced during a residency at The Castle, Centre International d'art et du paysage, Île de Vassivière, 2016.
