The exhibition Daydreams and Nightmares by artist Karri Kuoppala is an installation that consists of sculptures, paintings, and a video. The basis for the exhibition is fear and its surroundings. The unknown and thus incomprehensible appears to us as frightening.
The works have been inspired by the artist’s childhood nightmares larded with popular horror imagery. To Kuoppala, who is known for his extensive video works, the palpability of the experience of seeing has become more and more important. The return to the materiality, physicality, and the hand-made feature of the working process is a logical continuum.
The exhibition has been kindly supported by the Alfred Kordelin Foundation and the Majaoja-säätiö foundation.
