Installation image at MU Hybrid Art House, July 2024.

On the Third Day, 2024 is an installation that combines a large-scale video projection of moving flower petals with a small, intimate animation depicting a cockroach waking up in a cave. It does not know how it ended up there and it has three days to figure it ut if it wishes to remain alive.
The narrative of the new piece is co-written by Juhani Karila and myself, with animation by Teemu Hotti and voice acting by Laura Birn. Charles Quevillon has created the sound design. The work was commissioned by MU Hybrid Art House in 2024. Both parts of the work are around 10 minutes.

The research of the artwork was graciously helped by Ryan Arvidson, associate professor in biochemistry, Case Western Reserve University.
