Crying and Holding Hands With a Pine Tree While a Mother Spider Eats Her Own Children

2025

Shown at Äänen Lumo (Helsinki, Finland)

A multimedia work co-created with Alexandra Tremblay during an art residency at AARK (in Korppoo, Finland) in July 2025.

We got inspired by the 1960's psychedelic era (and Lemmy), magik, psychoanalysis,​​​ Katajamäki eco-village/healing center in Vilppula, a vampire from Lahti that always wanted to find a spot where he could stay safe in the shadow

Shrine (Crying and Holding Hands With a Pine Tree While a Mother Spider Eats Her Own Children)

2025

 

Pebbles (from Nuuksion kansallispuisto, Vilppula and Korppoo), magic spell on a piece of wood made by surnatural insects, semi-circular branch holding the secrets of the universe, a candle stolen from a medieval church to perform magic later, 2 eternal flowers that are like eyes watching you from another dimension, tiny little branch pieces collected from the back of a vampire, wax on paper, 3 clouds of wax, happiness made out of wax, a piece of dry skin detached from the body of a lonely tree, dry flowers containing the essence of the Sun, fern leaves kept as a remnant of a specific time in my life, a metal rod that tries really hard to look like a branch while at the same time being closer to look like a snake, the dead body of a metallic green beetle that had to leave its nest in an emergency, a tiny envelope containing a magic yellow powder that can make the Sun appear in the middle of the night, tiny sticks collected when having a discussion with the same vampire stated earlier, old snake skins left behind by a snake that wanted to buy new clothes, a tiny bowl made of beeswax from Katajamäki, Turritis glabra branch on a pink cloud, 2 Papaver roheas tiny eyes (that also look like tiny peyote buttons) looking through your soul.

Olen kuollut

 

Lääkärihämähäkki ikkunallani

Silmät lautasella

Katso, katso, katso

Ne ovat vähän ujoja

 

Kolme toista silmää

Yksi heistä juoksee rannalle

Ja sitten rannalta sänkyyn

(Edestakaisin)

Kunnes aurinko laskee 

Ja pienet jalat kasvavat kaikkialla

 

(Saari liukuu järveen,

kun kuu kuuntelee häntä)

 

Täällä aurinko on erikoinen

Se on erilaista

Kuuma, kuuma, kuuma

Kirkas, kirkas, kirkas

.

Kirkossa

.

Kuuma kuu

Katosi puu

Metsä on loppu

.

Kuulen vain äänesi:

"En voi uskoa, se on uskomatonta "

 

En ole koskaan kuollut ennen

En ole koskaan syntynyt ennen

Ei se mitään

Yritän uudelleen huomenna

Parantavassa keskuksessa

Luonnossa

Lydbeckin kanssa

 

Pikku kuu

Mikro-kupoli-annos

Sydämessäni

Kuusi ihossani

 

Pyytää anteeksi kiveltä:

"Olen pahoillani pieni kivi

Että istuin päälläsi

Syntymäpäivänäsi"

 

Taivaan Tunne

Täynnä rakkautta

 

Hiljaisuus

.

.

.

.

Loputon

 
 

 

 

I am deceased                                                                                                           

Doctor-spider on my window   
Eyes on the plate
Look, look, look
They are a little shy

Three other eyes // Thirteen eyes
One of them runs to the shore
And then from the shore to the bed
(Back and forth)
Until the sun sets
And tiny legs grow everywhere

(The island slips into the lake,
as the moon listens to her)

Here the sun is strange
It is different
Hot, hot, hot
Bright, bright, bright
.
In the church
.
Hot moon
Disappeared tree
The forest is gone
.
I hear only your voice:
"I can’t believe it, it’s unbelievable"

I have never died before
I have never been born before
It’s all right
I’ll try again tomorrow
At the healing center
In nature
With Lydbeck

Little moon
Micro-dome-dose
In my heart
Spruce in my skin

Apologizing to a stone:
"I’m sorry, little stone
That I sat on you
On your birthday"

 

The Feeling of Heaven
Full of love

Silence
.
.
.
.
Endless
