Santeri Tuori’s new public artwork completed in Turku

Lumpeet (Water Lilies), a two-part artwork by Santeri Tuori has been completed at the Turku Student Village Foundation’s (TYS) newest housing project, Tyyssija. The work is a layered photograph printed on glass plates, depicting water lilies and aquatic plants. The video-controlled LED light grid that lights up in the evenings brings new layers to the work – The surface of the water, the underwater world and the reflections of the sky are all present.

“Walking into Tyyssija’s courtyard is like diving through the building’s structures. The staircase and the upper plateau made me think of being by a pond. I thought that a work showing a underground or hidden world would fit into the space”, Tuori says.
