Minna Väisänen: Tilateos Konnunsuon keskusvankilaan / Konnunsuo art project

Completion year: 1997
Technique: Photography, installation
The Konnunsuo art project consists of several artworks made by Imatra Art School students year 1997. The project is supposed to be permanent and consists of several different artworks: paintings, graphics and photographs. 
My artwork consists of both colour and black-and-white photographs and text samples of Jean Genet´s book "The Thief's Journal" 1949 (Orig. Journal de Voleur, 1949). The quotations demonstrate some main points of Genet´s thoughts of criminal life and thieves´ subculture (sorry, they´re in finnish).

My photographs are mounted side by side at two opposite walls.
Other side of the wall (about five-six meters long) is painted with bright orange colour.
