Land(e)scape is an installation by Sami Rintala of Rintala Eggertson Architects, a Norway-based firm that has a beautiful, sculptural portfolio."In 1999, three abandoned wooden barns were raised on 10 meter high legs to follow their farmers to the cities as a critical comment on the deserting process of the Finnish countryside. Barns were set on fire during a traditional slaughter carnival by dancer Reijo Kela."
The work was commenting on the desertification process of the Finnish countryside, fastest in the EU.
Seriously, wow.
Seriously, wow.
