Adaptability Contest (Sopeutumiskykykilpailu) is an installation that was built in Taidekeskus Mältinranta, Tampere in November 2023 and in Vapaan taiteen tila, Helsinki in January 2024.

The installation included my MFA thesis video project Meditations On The Police (2022) as well as images of the material collected during the process of applying to the Police University College in Tampere in 2023: training schedules and notes, goal boards from practicing on a shooting range, security clearance form filled with automatic drawing and gallery stickers, quotes and reactions to the presence of police visible in private and public spaces, official material describing the ethics and challeges of police work in Finland.
