About the Book
This constellation of life and art practices is personally collected from the years 2015-2023.
Within this speculative lens we see seasonal landscapes, improvisational research, holistic workshops, science fiction video, ritualistic portraits, social scenes, family visitations, DJ documentation, Helsinki exhibition dispatches, open studios experiments, reimagined allotment gardens, performances for the camera, and visual art projects created by former and existing Vartiosaari artist house members, guest artists, and visitors.
Vartiosaari is an activated imagination generator and I hope you will have a chance to visit this special place in Finland.
A special thanks to all the contributors, and guardians (past, present, and future) protecting this island.
