with Vappu Jalonen
installation with sound, text and image projections
Elis Hannikainen and Vappu Jalonen created a new artwork called Safe Room for the exhibition Secured – Politics of Bodies and Spaces in Vantaa Art Museum Artsi. The installation consists of sound, text and image projections as well as objects. It is in close relation to the museum’s black space, which differs architecturally from the rest of the exhibition space. The artwork is based on safe rooms, which are built in private or public spaces because of real or imagined external threats. The work examines the difficult nature of security and safety as concepts and safety as a personal experience. What is the relationship with space and being in the museum: what do you need, what do you want to do now?
