Evidences

A trophy means war booty or a hunting memento; it serves as proof of victory.

Trophies represent the most problematic core of hunting culture. They have nothing to do with food procurement or “game management,” but rather with tourist entertainment and even poaching.

These Evidences are objects made from used leather garments; their surfaces bear the marks of a life lived as human clothing and still carry the scent of perfume and memories.

Evidences, 2010–2014, leather, mixed media. The works are in the collections of the state, the City of Ylöjärvi, and private collectors.
