Work and Leisure is a site-specific public work in Laajasalo health center commissioned by Helsinki Art Museum (HAM).

I invited health care professionals working for Helsinki city to participate in making the work. The final piece includes paired photographic portraits of people at work and at leisure.

The installation deals with questions of different every day roles and possibilities of breaking them.
