Find

Blending in with the trees at Pikku-Vesijärvenpuisto park, five-metre-high Find depicts a tapering tree trunk. The work is also known by the title Natura morte. The concrete sculpture bears a striking resemblance to a real broken tree. Indeed, its appeal lies in that very fact: the sudden realisation of its artificiality, the unexpected encounter of art in a natural setting. Interrogating the boundary between art and natural object, the work involves a philosophical dimension and conveys more than would seem at first glance. The work’s shape is based on a sharply tapering tree that Lanu found on a bike ride in Miekkiö, from which he took a mould for the artwork.
