Seven Persons Incomplete and Contradictory Perception is a work that was commissioned by the Malmö Konsthall for the project entitled ‘Murder at the Savoy’. Based on a movie scene where seven people around a dinner table become witnesses to a murder at the Savoy Hotel, I created a sculpture that can be thought of as a sculptural diagram of the fragmentary impressions of these seven individuals about the event. “Patrik Aarnivaara has built a mirrored sculpture that reflects the past of the hotel interior to blend it with visitors. The room is like a kaleidoscope of time.” (Thomas Millroth)
