Haltija ritual at hiidenkirnut (potholes) in Askola
WYRD at B-Gallery, Turku Finland, from 20th to 22nd of June, was our first actual work together. For two days we were working inside the gallery weaving our destinies together and inviting people to follow the act.
Wyrd is a net that is woven inside gallery during two days.
It is a ritual, a performance and an installation.
Wyrd is a myth, a method and landscape. It is water, blood, and light.
Wyrd is also a dream, act and time – one, two and three tied together.
Wyrd is past, present, and future. It is January, June and the rest of life.
Wyrd is a work about our love.
It is woven of things that we have experienced together, and of things that we have found together.
Wyrd is two rituals, which get plaited together.
We are currently editing a Wyrd Ritual Art movie

Ukonvakka/Midsummer ritual
The concept/idea of cycle is central in our work it being cycle of year, cycles in nature, DNA-chains and snakes rotating around themselves, labyrinths closing us inside, themes of arguments: all that can simply be called stream of life – inexorable and unassailable, molecular level of life itself.
Our interest to cycles makes it natural that one part of our work is to create rituals that are in connection to the cycle of the year. Midsummer, the summer solstice, is one of the most important celebrations in Finnish mythology, which originally was to celebrate the Finnish god Ukko.
