notes from 13/10/13 walk
Sunday 13/10 I did a walk around Helsinki, few notes:
(first idea)
Now about my monument's idea, I would like inversing this process. Find a solution to show at the public these little things, and invite people to walk around the city with different tour or without, like free urban walks. Just walking, becoming to be free to looking and to be touch by the environment.
(first idea)
You can find way and different points, which reference my notes in this map
Estonia trip
I came back Saturday evening in Helsinki. I did a little trip in Estonia where I walked a lot in and around the city of Tartu and Tallinn. Nice walks during days and nights.
Tartu is a small town, with a quiet pretty center and a periphery more poor and faded. It was my first time in these kind of country, with a soviet union past. The idea of monument is very important there. There are a lot, and I went to the art school where in sculpture department students learn how make stone/bronze sculpture (idea of perenial sculpture) and every courses doing focus on this idea of memory, on the classical way of the monument.

Artist Jerzy Szumczyk, a fifth year student at Gdansk's Academy of Fine Arts, told Polish Radio that he had read extensively on the subject of rape by the Red Army as it advanced across Eastern Europe towards Berlin from 1944-45.
Szumczyk claimed he “was unable to cope with it” and so created a statue to express his feelings.
Historians have estimated that over 1 million German women were raped by Soviet soldiers from 1944-45.
Prior to the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Gdansk was a free city (Danzig). Over 95 percent of the inhabitants were German.
The rape of Polish women was also commonplace (1944-47) during the Soviet liberation of Poland, although to a significantly lesser degree, with highest estimates at 100,000.
“The artist was detained and released after questioning,” police spokesperson Aleksandra Siewert told Polish Radio.
