mixed media installation

Glimmers is a mixed-media installation documenting the artist’s four-day field trip to the Saimaa region. Glimmers are subtle, personal moments that calm the nervous system and are known in psychology as the opposite of triggers. 

By engaging in sonic meditations and rituals from regional folklore, moments of tranquillity arise from attuning to the region’s soundscapes. These experiences are documented through field recordings, photographs, journal notes and film, exploring the question: What are glimmers, and how can we create space for them?

Inspired by acoustic ecology, the field recordings formed the basis for a four-channel composition that was later compiled into a stereo album. Visitors are invited to reflect on and respond to the question: What moments make you feel safe?


Showcased at Välillä Väärässä exhibition 2025 at the abandoned hotel-nightclub building Väärätalo in Imatra, (FI).
