Ceremony for the empty
Ilia Ollikainen & Helena Pulkkinen
Get ready to go out. Make a ceremony to raise consciousness of the fact that your traces will be left behind you. Solemnity and preparation for the exact moment. The exact moment to empty a space of otherness. Ø ceremoniously created.
Ilia Ollikainen & Helena Pulkkinen drive us to think that we had no time for rituals or ceremonies to leave the streets empty and remain at home to work or to study the major part of our time. We didn't have time for that kind of ceremony, however we started a new ritual to get out ready for the street and enjoy with others, the ritual of cleaning hands and using face masks.
From being face-to-face spectators, we become virtual spectators. RMB.

Pulkkinen and Ollikainen have been interested in working with text, sound and installation in performative ways. Within their collaborative work Pulkkinen and Ollikainen have a mutual interest in the many notions of empty space and its opportunities to host and shelter, its ability to in a sense care for the needs of its occupants. Their ambiguous party seeks to take a step closer to its host and participants, in a moment of togetherness. The exhibition is an afterparty for the viewer and the empty to spend together.
