Ecological sign language 001, 2021 Võru Kultuurikoda, 2021 Telliskivi Creative Centre, 2023 The problem is not that there are too many people in the world, the problem is that there are too many stupid people in the world. Humanity’s millennia-long effort to get out of nature’s food chain and become the commander of death and birth has thrown us out of dissonance, out of resonance with the loss of a common language and the ability to read. There is still a longing to enjoy beautiful sunsets, the peace and quiet of pure and untouched nature and seek solace, but

2024

Pärnu jõe promenaad, 2024 Lahkuda või jääda? Viimane sõna. Viimane puudutus. Igavesti mällu sööbiv hetk. Igatsus, teadmatus ja valu. Lootus.

For the writer who lived in Koeru as a teenager, Koeru was the center of the world. The memorial stone was found and installed with the

CIRCLE

Rotermanni main street, Tallinn, 1997-2021 Humanity in all its nakedness sees the truth with 12 animals in itself – with humanity in animals. Animals are often more human than we can be. Animality/livingness is really only revealed in ourselves when we corner and create behavioral disturbances in other species.

The work is dedicated to the Tartu biodiversity movement and all activists related to nature conservation. It invites us to think about the nature of man – what we organize in this world and how we live, what kind of mark we leave behind. A human being is like a temporary transparent construction dependent on the richness of the environment in order to pass on life. Not only for the next
