SYMBIOSIS - 2014 - 2020

City of Turku, Finland

Permanent outdoor monument.

Located in the center of Turku by the “Aura” river, Symbiosis was commissioned in honour to save the sea surrounding the Finnish archipelago (part of the Baltic) with the purpose of collecting funds for cleaning the waters.

In essence: Citizens, companies, institutions, etc can purchase name plates of the same acid steel material as the surface of the “original sculpure”. These plates come in various sizes and values, starting at € 250, while the most expensive company plates are worth € 5000. Several times a year Lindfors personally arrives to attach recently purchased name plates to his monument, thus creating a second “skin” of plates to Symbiosis

By spring 2020 some 1200 plates have been attached to the sculpture, bringing approx. € 450,000 so far. The project continues, bringing more name plates & funds to the monument until the entire sculpture is covered.

Length & width: 8,5 X 5 meters /28 X 17 feet., height: 2,5 meters/8,5 feet.

Inner structure: Welded stainless roundstock & tubing. Surface: Welded acid steel plate.
