”Hello dear reader! I wrote in a poetic form an alchemistic list of the elements that my performance Dry consists of. Trust your ears. With warm greetings – Timo Viialainen”
A physical reaction in things that normally keep their silence.
A tension that comes with high expectations.

Timo Viialainen
Timo Viialainen (b. 1981) works in the fields of visual art, performance art and sound art. Though most part of his work has been live performances, his contemporary work usually takes its shape in conceptual sculptures that often feature an activating element which engages the viewer. His interest lies in intuitive prelinguistic experience and contradictory concepts that can be found in the various capitalised environments in which we exist. As a performance and sound artist he has performed actively since 2011 in various events in 21 different countries. Timo is a graduate from the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki (2021).
