Janne Nabb's and Maria Teeri's work are largely based on becoming aware, playing, searching and finding the unlooked-for.
Together they arrange the parts of their collaborative installations. They constantly keep watch on the other one's reactions, like in any interactive game.
In existing space they construct inner worlds, absurd realities including abstract elements and readymades.
Strange and familiar create an illusion of a skewed view, a stage of action that has already been cleared, leaving open the question "what happened between the beginning and the end".
