Olo n:o 22, Environmental sculpture near Hietalahti Harbor, Finland
Olo n:o 22 features more than fifty polished steel spheres of different sizes distributed around the harbor basin at the western end of Bulevardi.
The sculpture emerged from an invited competition in the late 1990s, with artists Pasi Karjula and Marko Vuokola winning first prize for their design.
The installation extends beyond traditional public art by placing steel spheres inside local businesses and courtyards, creating multiple viewing opportunities throughout the area.
Visitors can find the steel spheres along the Hietalahti harbor basin, with coordinates at 60.161567 latitude and 24.9290935 longitude in central Helsinki.
The sculpture has no defined starting or ending point, as the multiple spheres create a continuous presence that transforms with light and weather conditions.
