Artist’s note: The installation Estranged Relations was inspired by the an area of Swedish bourgeois villas, in Helsinki, that had been left in ruin since the 1940s, called Kruununvuori. The piece consists of an assemblage of materials collected from the site, combined with a photo of a hallway, melted together with a projected still image, blurring the lines of representation.
