The Eye
Artist Jukka Tuominen
Kasarmitori, Helsinki
Helsinki City Buildings Office has commissioned Jukka Tuominen (b. 1958) to produce a work for the new Kasarmitori. The piece, Eye, is to be on the western side of Kasarmitori on the site of an earlier well. It consists of two concentric steel discs, which will be inlayed into the coble stones of the Market Place. The outer steel disc mimics the market cobble stones while the inner disc is polished smooth like a mirror.
The work belongs to the City of Helsinki’s art collection, which is managed and curated by HAM.
