Terry Smith, "Unnatural Acts", 2000, UK, Roi Vaara, "Artist's Dilemma", 1997, Finland.

Urbani says of the series:
"The show is conceived to investigate the tension existing between normality and abnormality.
Sometimes to act unnaturally helps to focus on the reasons for our every-day acts, our "normal" life and to discover new ways of thinking and creating different perspectives. What is not normal can be not only abnormal - already a pathological territory - but also different, or diverse."
