Sandra Kantanen: Between landscapes
Turku Art Museum, Turku
- 6.2.2026–17.5.2026
Sandra Kantanen’s work centers on the fundamental nature of photography and landscape, the interface between the real and the ideal, and nature in a state of constant change.

Sandra Kantanen (b. 1974) is one of the best-known photographers of the Helsinki School, and her award-winning works are most often seen outside of Finland. At their core lie the fundamental nature of photography and the landscape, the boundary between the real and the ideal, as well as the ever-changing state of nature. Kantanen’s visual thinking has been influenced especially by Asian landscape traditions and Eastern philosophy, yet echoes of Western art history can also be discerned. She often explores the photograph’s relationship to time and materiality. In images that speak of change, transience and the presence of memory in the landscape, nature appears both as an external and an internal space, where humans and the environment reflect one another.
The exhibition is produced by Turku Art Museum and curated by Elli Liippo and Annina Sirén.
The exhibition is supported by the Finnish Heritage Agency.
