2023,Lobby, KuvA Research Days, Mylly,
 Helsinki,FICollaboration with Tuomas Lehtomaa.

For the KuvA Research Days Aala Nyman and Tuomas Lehtomaa presented an active installation that took as it starting point the place in which it was situated in, a lobby. The common waiting room, its possible different meanings, and the notion of a lobby as an in-between space for things to possibly take place or formulate functions here as the core for the sculptural, time-sensitive, mind map-like gathering of things. A shared process-based practise oriented on the potential of material changes and reactions takes place, the only promise here being a passing of time.

The installation was interactive in a way, that the viewer was free to touch the objects, boil some water, make a cup of tea or maybe eat candy or chew a piece of gum..and leave a small trace.
