The sculpture Swing is located in front of Alandica Kultur och Kongress hus.
It is a sculpture consisting of two wavy or swinging pieces of metal standing together, one slightly higher than the other.
What makes the sculpture unique are the colors. The metal pieces are painted with millions of tiny dots. And the interesting thing is the color combination. The colors or dots are in different colors that occasionally shift into a different tone. And these color changes emphasize the title Swing.
It's a sculpture you can study for a long time if you're a color geek, because it's actually genius.


Satu Kiljunen is both visual and performance artist and the first Finnish professor in artistic research. Furthermore, she led the performance group Jack Helen Brut in the 1980s, which toured to international performance, theater and video festivals in e.g. Oslo, Reykjavik, Lisbon and Madrid.
In her work she depicts people, nature and interiors.
