Among other things, on viewing the exhibited video-works, we can wonder about how certain collaborations’ success is not at all determined by verbality.
Controlling the tied together drift-wood, and to reel the endless long strings on the streets of Helsinki and on snowy fields, the participants, who are far away from each other, can only coordinate by visceral intuitions.
This type of instinctive, intuitive human behaviour is entirely similar to the human methods that are imagined after Apocalypse. All the while on the record player, instead of a vinyl, string-people twirl string-trees that are joined by their roots.
The Airbrakers, beyond the previously made artworks, present the visitors with a limited edition fanzine, issued for the exhibition, and a site-specific installation, custom-made from several kilometres of rope for the space of the Gallery.
