Hit Me: Depression Glass, installation, 1992.

It was a time of severe depression in Finland where many Finnish were bearing this hardship in silence. This installation aimed to help people to come out and vent their frustrations. Visitors were invited to smash the glass and to spray grafitti in the art space. I was surprised that it was not the youth, but middle-aged men who smashed up a sheet in a matter of minutes.
