Untitled Oil Installation
Wäinö Aaltonen Museum, Turku
2004

Curated by Kari Immonen

Untitled Oil Installation was a 2 m x 2 m and 5 cm deep oil basin that was levitating 130 cm high suspended with cables from each four walls of the room. The minimized structure kept the pool totally horizontal although the whole system was balancing on one single point.

The installation related to the proportions and structural organisation of the exhibition space itself. The black mirror like surface of oil reflected the sky through a roof window above the basin. The stillness and stability of the installation combined with the extreme structure created a peaceful but at the same time waiting ambience in the whole space.
