Valekuolema

Valekuolema: Finnish for suspended animation, literally ‘false death’

Valekuolema is a unique art book object (one copy made) related to a similarly named exhibition held in Tampere, Finland 2016. It deals with the entanglement between matter, memory and personal identity. In particular:
— How objects and memory affect each other, and how they together affect a person’s identity;
— How memories make objects more than mere things;
— What objects tell about us, how they define and bind us.
