Re-monument
Aigars Bikse made this every-two-minutes inflatable Lenin ("Idealist. Two minutes cycle of historical justice") in the place where the central Lenin of Riga was until 1991.

Munument-space
When we where discussing about what does a monument do with the space my example was the stone in a place where a cameraman was shot from a near by hill. I just found a video of that moment (1991). Btw I heard that there might be only to documentaries (including this) where a cameraman is killed during shooting.

Can't see the hill in the picture but anyway...
there are 5 of these kind around that hill, for each person for the same reason.

Hidrogenum
I saw this man...
who looked super scary and smelled like hydrogen (it starts to evaporate from the skin when a certain amount of alcohol is reached in blood) and had that blue balloon connected to his jacket.
Outside, next to the shop where the picture was taken, there is this podium...
Every day I pass trough this center of Kontula and almost every time I see wasted, middle-aged people hanging/lying/throwing up around the karaoke bars. Pub Paris is the best I think. I should still go to the Archive for more information about this place and to visit Pub Paris for once, but for now I think to work with this topic and/or area and/or character.
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.
