Meriläinen’s contribution to this video program is the most metaphoric representation of ideas around the human body as object. It focuses on slabs of tactile geletin, which is repeatedly stabbed with a serrated knife.

The fleshy pink tones of the work emphasise the human aspect of the material. Here the inanimate becomes anthropomorphic.
