Since 2018, the Tuska festival area has featured – and often even invited people to experience – the soulscape of Wärri: skull-covered terrain, a transparent coffin, giant and tiny crosses, philosophical reflections (“Today Satan, Today”), and who knows what else. Last year, a giant skeleton couple watched over festivalgoers from the steel gas holder wall and even sent their heartfelt congratulations to a couple who got married at Tuska. ❤️

This year, too, you’ll find the popular guest coffin on site – a place where messages and drawings left behind rarely fail to make you laugh. Interpreting them, however, can sometimes be a challenge – it’s not always clear where one message ends and the next begins. The coffin is a space for connection, memory, and at the very least, a good chuckle. So don’t forget to find the coffin again this year and leave your mark.

Wärri calls himself a folk artist with a passion for designing and building coffins for the living. In the pieces he brings to festivals, realism is not the goal – on the contrary, he emphasizes their artificiality. The works are fully aware of their own nature – which is precisely why they pose more questions than they answer.
