This installation explores the purity of shape and form through the surface: Planet HER-BB is a picture-perfect installation that feels like plastic. It gives a glimpse into the planet’s vegetation. The exaggerated smoothness of the plants and flora are bulbous and colourful, practically perfect in their shine. I strived to remove every trace that could reveal the process behind the piece. What is essential is the surface, repetition and a rootless state of being that depicts the problematics of productivity.
Planet HER-BB installation has been exhibited in group exhibitions “Käännekohta” at Gallery Sculptor and FemF (Feminist Forum) exhibition in 2017, and at the exhibition “A Passing Permanence” at Space for Free Arts in Helsinki, 2018.
