2EMOTIONAL

Animated projection piece for public spaces. In production in 2024-2025.

Work funded by Kone Foundation.

The piece got its start from the despair of losing the emotional charge of original ink drawings when animating them. The on-going pursuit to preserve the feeling while bringing movement, combining active work with the intuitive birth of the drawings from sketchbooks.

Part of the piece is it’s placement in public spaces. So far I’ve projected the unfinished piece in Berlin, Turku and Helsinki.
