Apparition Johanna Häiväoja Photo: Johanna Häiväoja
A light projection on a metal mesh structure, at the height of 5 meters, in a catholic church.
Häiväoja called the artwork Apparition as a glimpse to the emplacement and to the time of the year. However, her main inspiration lies in space travel, and she wanted to offer a vision in the dark, that could send our spirits wandering into the night sky and beyond.
