Anikó Kuikka : Sun aikas koittaa / Your dawn will come

21 Apr-22 May 2021

Overview

We are delighted to unveil a solo presentation of a new body of work by Finnish artist Anikó Kuikka at their London gallery from 21st April – 22nd May 2021. The artist makes her debut at Fiumano Clase with an exhibition entitled Sun Aikas Koittaa (Your Dawn Will Come); her own exploration of a primordial fear of death, counterbalanced by the hope of rebirth. Visitors are led through the exhibition, a single-channel moving image projection accompanied by an audio guide. These media elements are juxtaposed by glass-sculptures of the parasitic tinder polypore (Fomes fomentarius) and organic material including highly scented spruce branches. This immersive, multisensory installation guides the viewer on a contemplative journey to confront fundamental human concerns including death of self, the loss of ego, the re-birth of the soul and the death of art itself.
