Der finnische Skulpturist Veijo Rönkkösen hat einen Garten voller Beton-Skulpturen mit falschen und echten Zähnen. Und woher bekommt er die? Ganz einfach. Von seinen Zaungästen. Hier ein Zitat aus Veli Granö’s Artikel @ Books from Finland:
Veijo Rönkkönen (born 1944) has lived all his life on an isolated, small farm in eastern Finland, Parikkala, less than a kilometre from the Russian border, where he has quietly built a garden inhabited by nearly five hundred human figures made of concrete. Entrance is free. […] Veijo Rönkkönen began to use dentures in his figures in 1976; ‘Javelin Thrower’ flaunts the false teeth of the artist’s father, who died in 1975. Visitors have since donated dentures to be used in Rönkkönen’s work. […]
