First shown at the Pori Art Museum, Pori, Finland, 30.3.–20.5.2007,
as a cycle of three 24-inch LCD-displays. The central piece is a
revised edition of The Giant of the Forest, completed in 2006.
The subtitle is a partial reference to Pentti Haanpää's 1931 novel
Noitaympyrä [Vicious Circle], first published in the mid-50's.

The exhibition is accompanied by a free distribution book The Place
of Mutation. Vagus, Nomos, Multitudo by Akseli Virtanen (Iconoclast
Publications 9/Pori Art Museum Publications 86).
