Tiina Hölli: what will be left of us – mitä meistä jää – metallinetsintää

2013

installation

Salo Art Museum 2013

Since 2007 Tiina Hölli has cleaned the ground from metal trash. Hölli uses a metal detector and documents the search as well as the findings, and respects the earth. The performances are flexible and details negotiable. Detecting one piece of metal and digging it up takes about 15 minutes plus preparation.

...what will be left of us - ................../ ...mitä meistä jää -
...human life..................................../ ...ihmiselämä
...tramping grasslands...................../ ...ruohontallausta
...searching for metals...................../ ...ja metallinetsintää
...Perhaps a tale.. ........................../ ...Ehkä tarina
...like a dream that will be forgotten../ ...kuin uni unohtuva
