Kim Simonsson's Moss People are allegorical children, made entirely of ceramic and covered in green nylon flocking. They exist only in the heart of Finland's vast forests. Far from everything and protected from everyone, they embody a dream of innocence in the midst of nature. Coming from the far north, they appear to us as a contemporary extension of these ancient Nordic myths.
Today, the Moss People want to go out, show themselves and discover the world. Where better to start than in an art gallery where everything they find will be of the same fabric? They will happily recognise each other!
We are convinced of it. For them, it will be a wonderful moment of discovery, and for us, an encounter of rare beauty.
