About project

The Finnish artist Teemu Määttänen has created an installation whose shape evokes everything from a hilly countryside to a wave-tossed ocean. While the structure itself is entirely static, it uses specially designed projections to create the illusion of movement.

Right before the eyes of the viewers a fascinating play of shapes and colors takes place, at one point recalling the ornaments of a kaleidoscope and at others the wild flora of a remote jungle or the elegance of Japanese woodcuts.

In this minimalist installation Teemu Määttänen integrates organic projection with a wavy projection surface and hand-painted patterns with computer-generated graphics.
