With his spectacular installation in the Schlossmuseum’s nature exhibition, Finnish artist Kim Simonsson presents the fantastic world of the Moss People – life-size, child-like creatures made of ceramic with a velvety surface, staged in a hyper-natural environment. The Moss People live in a utopian future in which nature has reclaimed the world and are equipped with artefacts from today’s lost civilisation. Inspired by the legends of his Nordic homeland Finland, but also by comics and mangas, the artist has covered his “forest people” with a moss-like surface of yellow nylon fibre flakes on a black background.
