Tidying Up

Site-specific piece that uses more than 100 used toothbrushes in different glasses and was developed in the context of a group show that took place in a rented flat in the cities of Porto and Helsinki.

In the Portuguese flat the installation was made for the kitchen marble sink, in the Helsinki flat for the bathroom.

In both places the viewer was confronted with a vision of a mental mess, where toothbrushes full of invisible remains from their previous holders invade a private room.
