Summer Artist 2021: Riikka Gröndahl

Riikka Gröndahl‘s Silent Portrait was a participatory, open project where she filmed silent video portraits of people. After the summer, the video footage was be stored in the collection of the Seinäjoki Museums. Later, after decades, it can be shown to future generations. The art work invites us to reflect on what is happening right now and how we will be remembered when we are no longer here – and also perhaps the speciality of the contemporary time we are living in. At the end of the summer the video work was screened at the Kunsthalle before it was being stored in the museum collection.

Riikka Gröndahl is a multidisciplinary artist who is particularly interested in humans and human behaviour.
