WORK IN PROGRESS

15 Jan 2026

Work enters the art hall.
Still warm. Still unpaid.

Grass cut. Sweat dried. Algae blooming.
Survival, once. Ritual, now.

Fabrics show up already tired.
Bleached. Stained. Handled.
Leather pretending to be grass.
Knit remembering every hour.

Inside Kai Art Centre, the body pauses –
not finished, not resting.
The sky cries.
Nobody clocks out.

Work continues.

‘On Fragile Grounds. Sirje Runge and Light’ is on view at Kai Art Centre until 22.02.

What to read next

CYBER has never fit neatly into one genre or identity. The Icelandic duo builds worlds where industrial pop meets hip-hop, confession turns theatrical, and beauty sits beside distortion — an ongoing performance that shapeshifts with every release.

Erik Merisalu works between instinct and precision, teeth and silver, the woods of Estonia and the velocity of Paris. A tooth becomes a portrait. A mistake becomes texture. A fragile thing gets frozen into permanence.
