The exhibition Tänk på döden (Think About Death) took place in various sites in the downtown of Stockholm. Mikado was showed in a closed down government building on Jakobsgatan 20. The concept of the work was similar to the previously made version of MIKADO, which I had made earlier in 2009 for a show the Kluuvi Gallery in Helsinki. However the script was rewritten for this office space, to create a stronger reference point to the actual moment of experience for the viewer.
