Antti-Ville Reinikainen: Puoskari / Mountebank

A trailer covered with pieces of mirrors. Its door is full of bright blinking lights. You can view the interior space of the trailer from the small window in the front. Inside the trailer there is mummified squirrell, empty bottles and footage projected from several surveillance cameras.

The trailer is trap-like creation, menacing construction that is designed to attract people close to its presence so it can steal their souls into bottles. It is combination of freak-show and reflection on differences between tolerant and fundamentalist attitudes. The mummified sqirrell is embodiment of horror of death. It's a tool, another bait for individuals' fundamental self-reflective needs.
