Syli / The Hug

Installation by Mermaid Slaugterhouse collective

Plywood, fish skins and clay paints

​

This installation is crafted in collaboration with VV-machine. It highlights the microscopic layers of the forest's biosphere and the individual’s smallness alongside the networks of plants and fungi. The piece also serves as a stage for Loviisa Lassila's performance, in which the artist's alter ego, Polina Wolfgang, tells the story of a wolf child.
