In the year 2020 we are following a long awaited natural disaster in slow motion, but its scope has surprised everyone. Social life grows ever smaller and hanging around at home is reflected in the overconsumption of the news. How many new covid cases?

The invisible risk to catch the disease is made visible by colours glowing bright in the ultraviolet light as door handles, handrails and buttons all seem lethal. In the post-Christmas time window display of the pandemic era, each new day brings new infection spread maps, and by evening one ponders if tomorrow will be any different. By it you can stop and be amazed by your own minusculity and try to understand that in order to help more you need to do less. The Walden Kunstaustellungen exhibition has specifically been designed to be pandemic compatible, that is, viewable only from outside.
The installation shown in Walden Kunstaustellungen is at the second phase of its life. It was first shown in December 2020 in Helsinki Finland, where it was recommended by the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat. After Neukölln, Berlin, it goes back to Helsinki to be shown in the annual LUX Helsinki exhibition, that draws audience of half a million or more to enjoy light art and contemporary art involving light, at the darkest time of the year.
Artist Antti Pussinen works in Berlin. In past few years he has in his art dealt with feeling minuscule in the face of forces of nature and the universe. His works have been exhibited in Kiasma, the Art Museums of Tampere, Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Hyvinkää and Kouvola, Gallery Sculptor, Helsinki, Freies Museum Berlin, Luisa Catucci Gallery in Berlin as well as Center for Architecture in New York.
