WHAT IT MEANS

TO BE AN EXPLOR-

ER

4Find, analyze and present an expedition item.

5 »THERE ARE SOME REALLY NEC-ESSARY TOOLS, LIKE A KNIFE, STRAP, COMPASS, BAGPACK, RAIN SHELTER, TORCH, WITHOUT THAT AN EXPEDITION IS REALLY AGGRAVATED. BUT THERE IS ONE THING WITHOUT IT’S IMPOS-SIBLE: THE HIKING BOOT. YOU DON’T REALIZE IT ON A TOUR UNTIL IT’S BUST.«

6How do you imagine the „Far North“? What kind of land-scape, lifeforms (if at all), people, nature and unexpected wonders do you expect to find behind the polarcircle? What is your notion of a place where the sun goes to rest in summer and never comes up in winter. Either write a short essay, draw a map, make a photograph or create a painting about everything that comes to your mind, your fears or expectations. How-ever, please do retrieve the images from your imagination!

IT IS COLD, SKETCHES CAN’T LAST LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES, BEFORE THE FINGERS START TO GET NUMB AND YOU PUT THEM BACK INTO THE GLOVES. SKETCH-ES STAY SMALL, PAPER MUST BE ECONOMIZED, EVERY GRAM COUNTS. «

»I MADE TALISMANS FROM STONE, WOOD, METAL BEADS, SMALL BELLS, RABBIT FUR, CAT HAIR, CONCHES, THREAD, BIRCH TWIGS AND BARK. EACH MA-TERIAL HAS IT’S OWN QUALI-TIES AND WAS PICKED TO FILL THE NEEDS OF THE RESPECTIVE OWNER. RABBIT FUR E.G. WAS CHOSEN TO BRING WARMTH TO THE BRAVE GIRL THAT STAYED ALONE IN THE WOODS FOR MORE THAN TWO NIGHTS WHILE IT WAS RAINING.«

I made a stone mark on Lem-moltunturi, the high-est point we reached during our expedition behind the polar circle. The spiral as a symbol of unity stands for the way of internalisa-tion and medi-tation.

I GOT SPACED

OUT IN THE

SHAMAN HUT

42»THAT ONE DAY WE INVENTED THE RITUAL WITH THE HOT STONES. I GOT THEM OUT OF THE LAKE AND HEATED THEM ON THE STOVE FOR A WHILE. WHOEVER CAME TO THE SHAMAN HUT THEN, COULD EXPERIENCE ONE HOUR OF TOTALLY BEING SPACED OUT, LYING IN A SLEEPING BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, WATCHING THE KEIMIÖJÄRVI AND FEELING THE HEAT OF THE STONES ON HIS OR HER BACK.«

»THE MONOTONE SOUNDS OF THE BHUDDA-MACHINE AND THE MYSTERIOUS MIXTURE OF TEA MADE THE HOT STONE RITUAL A QUITE EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE.«

49 Exhibition setup

Deer antler with talismans that I made during the expe-dition. One stayed on Keimiö-tunturi and another one was lost so I reproduced them for the exhibition.

Old frames with prints of a series of nature shots that I did with an analogue small format camera. I had some problems with a wide-angle lens and so most of my pho-tographs are blurry at the edges. Because of that the viewer gets a good sense of my perspective as the shaman.

Tools and materials that I used to produce the talis-mans, like nail scissors, a small tin can with beads and thread, fur and hair as well as materials that I found in the nature. I also showed three stones out of the Keimiöjärvi that I used for the hot stones ritual and special sauna löyly (a herbal brew) made from young birch buds. Everyting was collected in a typecase that I placed on a small antique table.
