87858143A two week course of site-specific art preceded the exhibition. For my work, I interviewed the customers of the library next door and asked for their favourite books and in which language they had read them.

87858144I searched for each book's last words in the mentioned language, and wrote each line on a separate strip of paper. They were attached to the roof of a hallway in the exhibition space that the viewer could walk through.

87858145The first Poetry Workshop In September 2008 I arranged my first ever poetry workshop in the opening of the new library of The Academy of Fine Arts. For the workshop I picked one random word from the first page of every tenth book in the library. In the workshop, people were invited to arrange poems of them.

878587474.4. "4.4." was a diary installation that was part of a performance workshop in Gallery V�livuosi in April 2007. There were nine of my old diaries from different years on the floor in candle light, and a sound, which consisted of my notes from the date April 4th from nine different years read aloud by myself, all at the same time. With changes in the volume I had picked some lines and words from the texts that you could hear louder. The work was only exhibited during the 4th of April.
