We dreamed that the world has ended is a project made together with Elias Lahtinen. It is a collaboration that grew from our mutual fantasy of being the only people left in the world. We played a game of finding a new Eden, a place of abundance where we would live in harmony with the surrounding nature and each other. Soon we noticed that an urge to control is always present in our desire for finding balance. We were trying to command something that would not obey.

Our project deals with our search for a place and meaning in the new world situation. In our search we found comfort in trying to look back in time, only to realise that the times of harmony between man and nature are far behind us.

This project was published as part of Poikkeustila 2020 -book.
