Official Trailer: Industry Muscle
Industry Muscle: Five Scores for Architecture continues Teo Ala-Ruona’s exploration of trans embodiment and ecology – now extending into the realm of architecture. Experience the exhibition at the International Architecture Biennale in Venice from May 10 to November 23, 2025 at the Nordic Countries Pavilion.
The video was shot on location at a concrete factory in Helsinki, where the installation for the Venice exhibition was constructed using concrete, steel, and a sports car. In the video, we catch glimpses of the performance, featuring Teo Ala-Ruona, Kid Kokko, and Caroline Suinner. The video was produced by Cocoa and directed by Taito Kawata, whose previous work includes the Netflix series Dance Brothers.
