Härkönen’s works often portray physical experiences of an individual in relation to a community, experiences that are difficult to verbalize. They urge the viewer to stop and let the subtle elements form spaces where one can place oneself in a landscape of otherness, separateness and experiences of alternate realities. The minimalist and meditative works form as a result of the combined effect of visible structures, an empty space and the viewer’s presence.
Suvi Härkönen earned her BA in Fine Arts from the Lahti Institute of Design and Fine Arts and MA in Visual Culture from Aalto University. She mainly works with experiential and spatial installations. Härkönen’s works have been on display at both solo and group exhibitions since 2009. She lives and works in Porvoo.
