Ainu Palmu: Pink Caravan

Pink creatures make city bathing it in pink, 2013

The idea of a pink world, where anyone can go anywhere, enter even the greyest, most rugged terrain, just as they are, comes alive in the work Pink Caravan. Cration is aglow, it is a garden of light with the power to colour the entire city in pink. Sound by Aake Otsala.
