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
