Here we go again!

Keyboard is the biggest object I have ever tried to grate. Exciting to see if the grater will survive this historcal chunk of elctronic junk.

Grated is a series of everyday objects grated with a cheese grater. One grater and one object. Duel to the death with no other tools allowed. Ultimate man vs. plastic endurance test.

What is art for you? Why is art made? What is the purpose of art? These are the questions you may ask. In my case art can be one (or many) plastic stick removed from the nature.

I collect these for installation purposes but maybe the final work is not the most important thing in this case. Or maybe it is? To make my performance visible to allow some new questions to raise about everything.

I have no idea what perfromance art is and I feel like I have been doing it for my whole life. Maybe art really is like life itself. Most of us dont know why we live. we just do.

one breath at a time.

I have been feeling happy an humbled since The Finnish National Gallery acquired my newest stop motion demolition animation to their collection. It´s overwhelming to realize that me a little kid who just likes to break stuff has been approved to the same company as the "poika ja varis" and "Taistelevat metsot" as part of the finnish culturual heritage.

I have always been following my own heart. Trying to do stuff that truly matters to me. Doing things that I enjoy and things which makes me feel uncomfortable. Being the best possible me is not an easy task for anyone but its the only (not the easiest) way to live if you want to truly know who you are.

Thank you universe from putting the atoms together in the right place just for me to pick them up and separate them again.

Original piano at the field with demolishing tools.

The piano with the axe. (most used item on this demolition)

Final sonata with the second piano acquired for the sound.

The second piano ready to be destroyed with a car.

The second piano splattered acros the road after being pulled with the car (if you wish to see that video you have to see my other work "kaikki on perseestä"

The soundboard of the second piano with keyboard parts stuffed between the strings for recording the D/composition sonata.

The remains of the second piano for making the nature sounds for the final stop motion animation.

I love when this happens. For some reason my Ice pick kind of demolition tool is a perfect device and a perfect color match for stabbing this ultrasonic penguin humidifier into the abyss and beyond!

After each destroy breaking and disassembling I always feel being a little closer of void.

For me the void is not a mental space, but a timeless time where there is no material.

The atoms that kept my actions and thoughts together have dissolved and the consciousness of infinity has faded into annihilation.

There are no ruins of mind or structures from which to return to this very moment.

Only the stationary present moment without witnesses.

There is no infinity without a spectator.

Thank you for the photo Niina Wehmaa.

Non permanent permanence.
