More information

Executed 2011.

”You know when religious people see their idols’ faces in pieces of toast or in stains on cloth or walls I was thinking about what it would be like to see very ideological messages in places where you least expect them. Imagine going into a supermarket and seeing an anti-capitalist message appearing on the shelves like a miracle.”

-Jani Leinonen, "Jani Leinonen, Book nr. 1", ed. Sarah Hudson, Helsinki 2012.
