Jonna Kina: Welcome Stranger

Jonna Kina’s solo exhibition Welcome Stranger brings together new works presented for the first time alongside key works from throughout her artistic career. Moving image, photography, sound art and sculpture come together in a subtle and carefully composed ensemble that showcases Kina’s distinctive artistic expression.

Throughout the exhibition, the relationships between sound, image and language create a space in which the familiar and everyday take on multiple meanings. Kina’s works explore the boundaries between the visible and invisible, the natural and artificial, and the documentary and fictional. Attention is drawn to what often escapes our perception. In Kina’s work, listening, looking and translating become processes through which meanings shift and emerge anew.

Kina’s artistic practice is rooted in research, and her frequent collaborations with natural scientists, composers and choreographers take many different forms. Her work seamlessly combines a profound engagement with its subject matter with an uncompromising approach to artistic form and execution.

The exhibition is produced by the Finnish Art Society.
