Lead Me out of here (even if I Do not Know if such a Place Exists), 2023- Vallila Library, Rikhardinkatu Library, Vuosaari Library, Porvoo Library and ArtYard art center (NJ, US)
Lead Me out of here (even if I Do not Know if such a Place Exists) is a conceptual artwork, consisting of paintings made on recycled clothes, which can be borrowed by anyone with a library card for a week at a time. The work explores what a meaningful relationship with clothing might look like in an environmental catastrophe and how we might see clothes as something more than commodities, objects to be bought and sold. The work has been exhibited in several libraries in Finland and at the ArtYard art center in the United States.
