House of Metamorphosis

Turku, Finland 2015–

The House of Metamorphosis explores the continuous change in life. Rantala worked 2006–2009 with communities were church was destroyed by arson and rebuild with the support of community such as Porvoo Cathedral, St Olaf’s Church in Tyrvää and Fantoft Stave Church in Norway. Destraction is not an end. There is a time to give space for the new beginnigs. Rantala wanted to give the matter a new form. She transformed burnt wood structure of Arson of the Church (2008) to a house where humus, organic matter morphs to new life, plants and vegetation. The soil is produced from household organic waste in compost.
