If you’re curious, this actually comes from the word Gesamtkunstwerk

Huh, interesting.

I know some German so I understand what "Gesamtkunstwerk" is because the Finnish word for it is probably just a direct translation of the German one – "yhtenäistaideteos" (yhtenäis+taide+teos), loosely translatable as "unified work of art"
