Smári Róbertsson delt with the hidden and unknown by exploring folklore, such as the folk tale 'The Father of the Eighteen Elves'. When you looked up to his studio-house from the street, you could spot a long stick poking out of the window. Attached to a tree, you'll found a text entitled: 'Poking The Unknown With A Really Long Stick'. The work is an invitation to reveal the underlying motives, value systems and conditions in perception and in ourselves.
