Document by Erkki Määttänen about Kari Tykkyläinen...
The video art of Kari Tykkyläinen is inspired by the swamps of his hometown of Siurua, Finland, as well as housewives and their seam stockings. Internet is the new forum for this sculptor, who has received various prizes for his art. He has made a thousand videos on the Internet, with over a million hits so far. The videos are highly popular, and there are fan clubs in many countries. The mogul of Siurua produces a video a day. He puts himself all out there, when he gallops in the swamp with his models, as well as models himself in the movie studio he’s built in his small cabin.
