Exhibition

“I approach each image as an individual and ask it: ‘How would you like to appear?’”

Kaarina-Sirkku Kurz is the 2026 guest artist at the Finnland-Institut as part of the Visiting Art/ist programme. The Berlin-based artist works primarily in the field of photography; in her exhibition 'Reaching, Grasping, Wondering', three bodies of work reveal a wide variety of thematic approaches, striking technical realisations, and an exploration of materiality. Linnéa Sverker spoke with Kaarina-Sirkku Kurz about her artistic practice.
