Although imperceptible at first, the cultural differences appear in a subtle way in one’s mind creating an off-balance feeling. I discovered Finland in a gradual way, finding the differences in all the details, starting with food, the organization of the space and ending with people’s attitude, introverted, focused, firm. I perceived them as being warm.

During the residence I focused on finding a connection between my artistic statement in general and the things that impressed me the most, a common ground.
Being the result of this one-month Platform residence in Vaasa, Finland, the audiovisual project solid grey seeks to find a direct, abstract translation of the specific minimalist and functional Finnish architecture of the blocks of flats into sound and visual forms. The relation between space and form which is as important as the volumetric shape, the basic building volume, the compact forms and city plans were sources of fascination and served as a foundation for this audiovisual reflection.’
