This post is especially for celestal@celestal and rrusina@rrusina. :)

There's a building in Kerava, Finland that just sits there and waits for demolition. Nothing fancy about it. You can find buildings, houses and different structures like that lots from all over the world. But what makes this building a little bit different is that it's no longer just wasted space. No longer only waiting for it's doom forgotten and alone. It's been given to artists so that they can do what they do best. Art. The whole building. Six storeys. Mostly graffiti but not only graffiti.

It's open 'til the end of August and I recommend that if you are in Finland and have not already been there, you should go. And I also recommend that you should go there before three in the afternoon because it might still be really popular so that even though the building closes at five, they do not take more people to the line after three. Because someone else than you might be there too.

Here's their site: http://www.purkutaide.com. Unfortunatly it's only in Finnish.

Also the bear in this post was photographed in the demolition house.

Anyway, I was there in the beginning of July and of course eagerly photographed as much of everything I saw.

Enjoy!

"So much to ask."
"Things I hear and the things I see."
"What isn't specially prohibited, is it allowed?"
"Why is human life so cheap?"
"Is tomorrow certain?"
