ELISENVAARA-PIEKS\u00c4M\u00c4KI: RECONNECTIONS
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The railway, cut by state boundaries, in many places closed and partly ruined, will be awoken again, to become a multiplicity of spaces, alive for new kinds of encounters between people and non-human entities alike. The performances realised by the Other Spaces collective and Jaakko Ruuska are a part of Ruuska’s artistic research project at the Fine Arts Academy of Uniarts Helsinki.<\/p>\n

The first reconnection happened on the ruins of the railway, between Parikkala and Elisenvaara. Can we overcome the spatial disconnect caused by state frontiers and forbidden zones?<\/p>\n

The second reconnection was formed on the closed railroad between Savonlinna and Rantasalmi. The human-powered draisine lead us to the blind spots of the tourism industry, where we can still sense the aura of places.<\/p>\n

UPCOMING<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The project continues in the summer 2020. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

On the ruins of the railway, functionality has moved to areas of imaginary and potentiality. Even when only a narrow trace remains of the railway, you can still follow it to enter other spaces<\/em>. At the borders of an abandoned railway, new spaces for encounters are opened.<\/p>\n
