Pekka Kantonen: Three Times a Decade: Asking for Advice
The event is a part of Uniarts Helsinki’s fourth Research Pavilion, taking place in Hietsun Paviljonki and its surroundings in Helsinki 5 June – 29 August 2021.
The installation of artist-researcher Pekka Kantonen is a dialogue based on a YouTube channel that shows the Kantonen family’s video diary. The video diary began with daily footage in March 1990 and is updated in near real-time with new footage. It inevitably progresses as people, things, and places age, are destroyed, and disappear.
