Extracted from... People in Helsinki were invited to help create a massive art installation of flowers under the supervision of artist Kaisa Salmi. On Monday, in the pouring rain, Salmi and a band of Helsinki volunteers set up a labyrinth of 100,000 gerberas in front of the main railway station. The gerbera labyrinth will be on display until Friday. Nature, particularly flowers, are a recurring theme in Salmi's works. The aim of this installation is to show how important nature is to humans' surroundings and welfare. In 2007, foto below, Salmi recruited helpers to cover the steps of Parliament with 60,000 blooms.
