The six-part work by the artist group Studio Nurmesniemi blends so seamlessly with its electrical engineering structures, the electricity pylons, that drawing a clear distinction between aesthetics and technology is neither easy nor necessary.

The pylons, which stand out distinctly from their surroundings, shape the landscape and lend it compositional and artistic rhythm. The work demonstrates how technical structures can also function as artistic elements in public space.
