Kevätpäiväntasaus — Vernal Equinox is a dialogue between two visual artists made into an installation. The vernal equinox is a turning point between the spring sunlight and the passing winter, in which the dead and fallen flora is still present but nature is preparing itself to a frenzy of growth. Regarding the materials of the installation our interest lies in a metamorphosis of the man-made and natural.
The timing of the installation is related to its theme. The vernal equinox of this year takes place on Sunday 20th March. On the day of the equinox we have a special event; we would like to invite you to enjoy the installation and celebrate the beginning of springtime!
