Mia Seppälä: Frustraation Ilmentäjä

Completion year: 2019

Technique: interactive sculpture

Size: 14x120x40

Keywords: Mia Seppälä, Frustration Expression, Galleria Rajatila

The Frustration Expression is an interactive sculpture whose function (inactivity) is based on the sound generated by pumping air and the movement that pushes the air stream through the copper tube through a standing pedestal and its hollow shaft into the drain pipe. The work has been on display in January 2019 at Galleria Rajatila as part of an interactive work called Identieettipaja (Identity workshop). The sculpture makes it possible to experience the challenge of generating an air stream. The sewer pipe is clogged with a tennis sock so that the air flow from pumping stops. The pursuit may change to frustration, but frustration can at best increase the tolerance of imperfection, which is rarely too much.
