Taste of Summer (documentation), 2000

On a dark winters' evening a figure dressed in white pushes a bicycle pulling a cart through the streets of Helsinki. She sets up her ice-cream stall, puts up her parasol and switches on the lights. The lights emit surrogate sunbeams, but they have no heat just a strange blue light. She hands out free ice-creams, it is cold and it tastes of summer. Commissioned for the 5th Forces of Light Festival in Helsinki.
