Erki Kasemets, Birthday, installation (truck tire, candles), 1990 Photo made in June, 1990, Ruila, Harjumaa, Estonia. A truck Gaz-63, equipped with technology of warfare, had been around in a military base for more than thirty years. After the Soviet troops had left the newly independent Estonia, everything was dismantled and different technical parts were sold to local people. At the same time in that base an exhibition took place where all the documents (from a passport and student cards to tens-and-tens of draft calls) were shown that the artist had gathered during his life course so far.
