Now permanently located in Kalasatamanpuisto, in Helsinki, “Ángel Yōkai Atā” (Angel Spirit House) is a temple-like structure, protecting a soft soundscape within.
3D-printed beings are visible from the windows, reminiscent of spirits, game avatars or temple offerings. The installation serves as a portal or an entrance into an alternate reality: a world of imagined angels and spirits.
The title of the piece combines Spanish, English, Japanese and Téenek – the language of the native Huastec people of Mexico: ángel/angel in English/Spanish; the Japanese word yōkai, meaning spirit; and the Téenek word atā, meaning house.
The work belongs to the City of Helsinki’s art collection, which is managed and curated by HAM.
