Midsummer Night goes Merihaka at winter solstice
A performative event lit by the lights of the city.
Participants are invited to view the phases of urban twilight on Merihaka shoreline in a horizontal position, wrapped up in blankets on a reclining sun lounger.
90 minute shifts are available in four chairs on the shortest day of the year. The reservation includes warm blankets and soup.
The work is the second artistic part of Nanni Vapaavuori’s doctoral research, exploring the practices and possibilities of lighting design at the edges of the visual register. The event revisits an excerpt from the first artistic part, which was performed in June 2022 through the shifting phases of twilight around the summer solstice.
Assistance: Virva Talonen
The event will be documented.
