This artwork, by the Finnish artist Anssi Pulkkinen<\/a> consists of ruins of a destructed home which has been shipped from Syria by sea to Europe. The material has been sourced from destroyed Syrian homes with the full consent of the owners of the property and building matters. The remains of these homes contain concrete parts of walls, floor, stairs, and roofing from the site, but it will not be possible to identify the exact locationor history of the house itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pulkkinen creates a caravan-like installation from the ruins. A wrecked house symbolises the loss of home at many levels.
\nIt portrays homelessness at a universal, humane level and at the same time speaks its own concrete language of the lost history of one real family.<\/p>\n

The exhibition takes plays outdoors in front of The Nordic House.<\/p>\n
