To celebrate staying alive for seventy years I decided to return to an old work – Sitting on a Birch – which I also call My fiftieth Year from 2006, when I travelled to Koivumäki every Sunday and sat on the outgrowth of a birch there. And decided to make it easier and choose a tree to sit on in my vicinity, one in Stockholm and one in Helsinki. The oak (probably an oak) I lean on the 10th January 2026 in the image above is growing on Fredhäll cliffs in Kungsholmen and the willow (probably a willow) I sit on the 17th January 2026, in the image below, is growing in the southwestern corner of Kaivopuisto park. The time is Saturday, if possible, Saturnus’ day. The blue and grey scarf is the same. If all goes well this will become two video works or perhaps a two-channel installation.
