Installation: Wonders of the World consists of 18 simple animations built up as short stories. Rapidly moving sequences one after another the stories brings one to various places, sites, environments and situations in different parts of the World. It is told in a simple and childish language, but in an adult world. The stories concern human relationships, sociality and fantasy mixed with personal experiences. The characters are clumsy, animals and objects are recognizable, but out of their natural proportions. The sound part consist of simple often banal love songs, jingles and short fragmentary dialogues. The installation and sculptural part is an physical extension of the animations, furthermore it is a practical solution of how to present the video.
