101 FOR ALL EXHIBITION @ SALO ART MUSEUM, 6 MAY – 10 SEPT, 2023

Why do we think like we think? For All put it’s focus on the people hidden inside statistics – and to the stories behind their opinions. 

The 100 people in the art piece forms a cross-section of the Finnish population in terms of gender, age, region, education, level of income, country of origin and mother tongue. 51 of them are classified as women, 13 isover 70 years old, one is from Asia and one holds a Ph.D. 

In 2015 Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen visited them around Finland. The artists interviewed people about their personal relationship with 30 topics that tend to divide opinions. The interviewees tried to pinpoint experiences and influences that play a role on how their opinions were shaped. 

The 1900 responses fed into an interactive video-installation. One spectator at a time can choose who to let speak, and on what topic.
