Combining printmaking and audiovisual works, the exhibition weaves together the world of folklore in the stories of changelings, the examination of bodily impressions and playful modulations of species-typical movement. The prints, realized on cold-worked glass and mirrors, take shape through the viewer’s gaze—one that the artworks seem to absorb and claim as their own. The imaginary relationship between the subconscious and the self-image is expressed through the idea of “ourselves as seen by the other, the other’s presence as part of myself.” The audiovisual pieces consist of animations that explore the boundary between the familiar and the alien through elemental movement and the process of becoming human. The notion of the body drifts into the realm of digital mimicry and the erosion of behavior shaped by expectation. Will it be a threat, or something comical or attractive?
The exhibition is a part of Gallery Week Finland. Gallery Week Finland happens on August 26–31 2025. It’s program comprises art exhibitions and other events around Finland that are free-of-charge and open to the public.
