Power Landscapes #1 ends

Today the conference ends, and the starting point of the art project Power Landscapes was closed. I packed everything together with artist Ola Nilsson, and the biggest problem was – what to do with the fish from Scaropni’s Malthus? Too small to eat, too alive to kill. Eventually they got a VIP ride to an aquarium, all by themselves. (Photo: Po Hagström)
