There are many places in Helsinki that still retain traces of World War II - scars of grenades and bombings. Do these traces have some value for collective memory? History without memory is as unreadable as a flat wall made of granite. There is nothing to hook on to. The act of climbing for me is a way of understanding. I climb these traces in an attempt to grasp its historical complexity and let the rain wash away chalk marks left after my grips

Events are taking place in the open air. The duration of every attempt varies from 30-60 minutes. There might be cancellations or changes in the schedule due to the weather conditions. Check for the updated schedule on www.climbingamemory.com before visiting. Please wear a mask and remember social distancing.

the space that contains us,
appears as a vessel---->is the activity overflowing the
transitional characteristics of this moment?
to be drag by the behavior…carried along like a stone
falling into the sea///until it disappears
how to be present and fade from recognition.
in these sessions something is going to be transformed
(((live set music/video dairy)))
