MIKROPALISKUNTA

mikroPaliskunta is an expedition that travelled trough Finland from the northest point Nuorgam to the southest Hanko with a stuffed reindeer called Paavo and five artists. Who is Finnish? What are the symbols of Finland? How has the image of Finland changed? And who defines it?

The expedition travelled by a biodiesel car that was packed with five artists and protagonist of the project; a stuffed reindeer Paavo that was searching for new members to its herd.

There was a camera attached to the Paavo's horn that took pictures in one minute intervals trough the whole trip for image line seen above. Paavo also collected stories about rendevous, phenomenon and national scenerys. There are also alternative postcards that have become very popular.

You are warmly welcome to visit.

The reindeer list is particularly gorgeous, I was very sad not to be able to join MKK and friends on this trip.
