This
motive so very familiar for every inhabitant of Tampere, Finland, is
now described by focusing only into the basic issue: water, fall and the
dam with its´ walls. In this way the picture becomes partly an abstract

These works are also connected with the Steampunk and Cyberpunk imagery. Video projections aspect ratio is 16:9. It is constantly looping.
