Minä, Sinä, Hän, Me, Te, He
Kuchka Heta
Nowadays everyone is busy. Adults are busy. Children are busy, too. The artist and approximately 5000 children and teenagers stopped for a while in everyday situations to look at each other and spend a moment together. In the finished installation, each model for a 10 seconds portrait looks in to the eye of an unknown passenger and hopefully encourages the urban dwellers sit next to each other on a bus - or maybe even encounter a fellow citizen. Maybe even a migrant. A sense of community and tolerance are essential premises for the installation Minä, Sinä, Hän, Me, Te, He.
