Spinning in the World`s Ferris wheel
Galleria Huuto Uudenmaankatu
1.3.–12.3.2006
After having spent some time in France and elsewhere as well, 99% of it in cool Finland, we have wandered and wondered, got to know, identified ourselves with and finally painted, for example
– gargoyles of Notre Dame observing the world below (modified and painted into Laitinen`s self-portraits)
– sewers containing all kind of worldly litter
– the cruel world of a waterhen
– lightning of cameras rolling out from touristbusses
– reserving and covering oneself from the world
– kitsch, glitter, many forms of life
To put it all together we`ve been in the World`s Ferris wheel…our heads spinning.
