project plan 1 - behrouz rae (iran) and fereshte moosavi (iran)



The artists Behrouz Rae (Iran) and Fereshte Moosavi (Iran/UK) have been working during more than one week on 8 portraits of people from Haukivuori. Finally the sculptures are placed in a part of the LABYRINTH. Going through the LABYRINTH the heads are hidden behind the the trees and as a treasure they can be found. Different persons are part of the gallery, as a worker in the past of Saksala, as a neighbor living next door, as the artistic component of the art centre, as the technical supporter of Saksala. The visual monument for the people related to Saksala is an artistic homage to all involved in this place.
