These thoughts and materials have been torn in pieces because of migration, and otherness. By using video, archive, memory and sculpture, Lono has an urge to create new sets of realities out of disparity. Lono works and lives in Helsinki. &nbsp; cv&nbsp; amanda.sramon(at)gmail.com https://amandalono.com/Water-bed Thu, 19 Oct 2023 07:00:03 +0000 amandalono https://amandalono.com/Water-bed amandalono WaterbedDuo show&nbsp;[muffled music playing in the background] with Hanan and Saara Mahbouba,&nbsp; Titanik Galleria, Turku17.3 - 16.4.2023 <img width="4946" height="3856" width_o="4946" height_o="3856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5e568e0c008f817696718922c7078ba91a8b76f2f8c95e2a0d5d2490c2f1a85/2.jpg" data-mid="194175940" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a5e568e0c008f817696718922c7078ba91a8b76f2f8c95e2a0d5d2490c2f1a85/2.jpg" /><img width="6016" height="4016" width_o="6016" height_o="4016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ff7acf0daad76233f71e2c4a94a799382242461ee728dea06ebb772346ff735/1b.jpg" data-mid="194175859" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ff7acf0daad76233f71e2c4a94a799382242461ee728dea06ebb772346ff735/1b.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d5e7cc3f2b31d3982985d81a24b899485b7a017ae70c1c6559f4cdf7b1111eb/IMG_3469.JPG" data-mid="194175943" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d5e7cc3f2b31d3982985d81a24b899485b7a017ae70c1c6559f4cdf7b1111eb/IMG_3469.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/14993abd61f84032020c4d5fe6ed919f68359b57cde947ef4fed4fdd9046df91/IMG_3448.jpg" data-mid="194175949" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/14993abd61f84032020c4d5fe6ed919f68359b57cde947ef4fed4fdd9046df91/IMG_3448.jpg" /><img width="3846" height="5762" width_o="3846" height_o="5762" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd094986a25d9752428db0dc952879e5133ae13c02b02723d5dc01ad4afae336/4.jpg" data-mid="194175939" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd094986a25d9752428db0dc952879e5133ae13c02b02723d5dc01ad4afae336/4.jpg" /> [muffled music playing in the background]&nbsp;I keep on getting stuck because I cannot visualize distance.I don’t know how it looks.
