P AS IN PINE ON THE RIDGE
a poetry nature trail for the whole family
What and who is the forest? What separates us from the forest, or does anything at all? Can nature turn into words?
P as in pine on the ridge is a bilingual poetry and spatial art piece created by Salla-Maria Salo specifically for the Myllyharju forest. With a playful and sensitive touch, it examines the relationships between nature and the human language and mind. What is our relationship with nature made of, and how far does it reach?
LOCATION: Myllyharju in Loviisa and the surroundings of the Kucku rock
LANGUAGES: Finnish, Swedish
AGE RECOMMENDATION: suitable for all ages
ACCESSIBILITY: The nature trail is partly difficult to traverse. A portion of the trail runs along a pedestrian and bicycle path and is accessible by wheelchair, but due to the hilly terrain in places, we recommend bringing an assistant.
Salla-Maria Salo is a dramaturg, musician, and actress originally from Turku, who later relocated to Loviisa. Somewhat by accident, she has also become a poetry artist. In her free time, she builds her half-hectare garden in Pernaja, plays princess with her child, and dreams of a time when she would have more time to read.
