The Truth

The Truth is a live audio-visual installation, with video artist Pietu Pietiäinen. It is a sort of oracle and mouth of truth. The truths are from people who come to visit the work. We don’t own the truth. We built the first version at Ärjä Art Festival on Ärjänsaari, Kajaani, 2–4 August, 2019. The second version was built at Flash2, Suomenlinna, 1–10 November, 2019, the third at Haihatus, 22–24 November, 2019, and the fourth took place at Lux Helsinki, Kanneltalo gallery, 8–12 January, 2025. At Kanneltalo I made the oracle live.
