黑料不打烊

The project visualizes the changes that children undergo in the process of becoming adults. The evolution and development of a child are related to insects鈥� metamorphoses; the installation鈥檚 characters are something between insects and children at various stages of their evolution and growth. The installation consists of more than twenty sculptures mounted on a branchy old tree in the museum garden. Larvae hatch from eggs looking like swaddled babies. They sleep and become bigger, growing arms and legs (six limbs altogether); the creatures then turn into toddlers 鈥� they get naughty, run over branches, go on the swings and study the environment around them like pre-school kids. They grow tousles, enter puberty and then mature, grow wings and fly away from their home-tree. The installation is accompanied by sound-effects: the creatures laugh, cry and mutter something in an unknown language. Sound files were created by a Finnish audio-artist Petri Laakso.
