life-size sculpture and multi projector installation

”Under a modest blanket, there lies a human figure placed on the wall.
Who is the person? Is he a prisoner, a dying old man, a tired soldier or maybe a new father?
There are different types of fatigue.
In his art, Jarno Vesala also considers the issue of display. What topics are there anyway
topics worth of presenting, of whom the sculpture is made of and how do we look at it?

Figure is placed on the wall of this dark exhibition space and it seems as if you are looking at the resting figure from above. It twists the position of the viewer in the space.”
