Foreign Apples is the second work in the Scenograph series, and examines the way that nationalism secretes itself into the everyday.
Beside the video, the latest edition of Kotiruoka – a Finnish home-cookery book – is open to a recipe for apple pie, the first line of which instructs the cook to “Wash the apples and peel the foreign apples.”
The video consists of a scene in which a foreign man repeatedly washes and then peels foreign apples.
The work is presented as 7’30″ loop.
