About / Text by Petra Lehtoruusu: the installation transforms the exhibition space into an extended moment – in a garden or a greenhouse, where unnatural wonders are cultivated. Simultaneously rising and about to collapse, a contorted body balances superhumanly on its hair, while growling creatures await on the ground.
