A Finnish Factory Worker Dies, Leaving Behind A Wonderland Sculpture Garden
21 may 2019 17:30

Veijo Rönkkönen (1942-2010) built remarkable park in Koitsanlahti, Parikkala, close to the Russian border in Finland. He worked on the site of some half a hectare for nearly 50 years. His hard work resulted in about 560 concrete statues and a magnificent garden. The young Veijo Rönkkönen was known to be very guarded. Art making was his way of communicating with the outside world.

The statue I’m talking about is the one of Saint Michael that was stationed at the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon.

13 oct 2016 10:55

Finland's 'Magic Forest' Is Actually A Place You'll Want To Avoid
23 aug 2013 10:44

If (like many) you found Singapore’s Frightening Theme Park Dedicated To Chinese Mythology a little too confronting, but still want to seek out the unusual and strange, you could always pay a visit to the “Magic Forest” in Imatra, Finland. Whether by choice or just bad design, it’s a forest littered with unsettling stone mannequins whose’s expressions are almost as creepy as the scenarios they’re placed in. How about a moustached made in a sharp blue seat, handcuffing a teenager to a tree and beating him with a cane? Or maybe you’d be more interested in a tall lanky local flasher?
