Lea and Pekka Kantonen are Finnish artists whose works examine ways of living and aboriginal cultures. This book is a polyphonic narration of their journeys together to three cultures: the Raramuri of northern Mexico, the Setukesians of south-eastern Estonia and the Sami of Finnish Lapland. In each community they set up their tent in a family's yard and settled themselves to live for some time. Their tent, prepared according to instructions the writer received in a dream, is the silent witness to these travels.
