Kalle Turakka & Pauliina Turakka Purhonen (FI): Tutitus

Tutitus is based on the constant nightly replacing of a child’s pacifier, the semi-conscious reflex-like fumbling through the bars of the child’s cor, searching the pacifier and the perpetual misplacement of the pacifier. Losing the pacifier is a small tragedy. If one doesn’t count a few ancient performances, Tutitus is the first joint piece by Kalle and Pauliina Turakka-Purhonen.

As artists their works have been thoroughly different yet a common touch with both has been their everyday approach and a handicraft-centered method of working. Even before their son was born they were already collecting lost pacifiers from the street. Tutitus is the home for these misplaced artefacts.
