‘Street View (Reassembled)’

by Anssi Pulkkinen

Finnish artist Anssi Pulkkinen’s new art work Street View (Reassembled) discusses homelessness both in concrete and symbolic way. Pulkkinen presents remains of a destroyed Syrian home on a 13,5-meter long truck trailer. The caravan-like, touring piece of contemporary art creates an alternative street view from Syria in our urban European city environment. The work provokes questions around, amongst others, home, belonging, identity and free mobility.

Commissioned by the Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux as part of Mobile Home 2017 project in cooperation with Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes in Paris, Berlin and London.
