In the hands of Vieno Motors, mundane materials and found objects are combined with flowers and turned into unique ornaments that are then attached upon the “human vases” in the most imaginative ways. The pieces of this performative orchestra are born in communication with the audience. Every piece is unique, and the story is bound with the carrier.
A living flower confronts the classical definition of an art object. Attached to a human, it is in constant movement, going against the idea of a stable art artifact. On whole, Vieno Motors redefines concept art with fresh material sensuality.
Vieno Motors was created in 2014 by Finnish artist Ilona Valkonen. It has grown into an international phenomenon that has been seen all over the world: in Helsinki, London, Berlin, St.Petersburg, London and New York, just to mention a few. When Vieno Motors is activated, it combines artists from different fields. Everyone brings with them techniques of their own creative background. To this day, about 50 artists have taken part in Vieno Motors and thousands of floral installations have been attached to people.
