Lotta Karoliina Räsänen’s exhibition “The next day I noticed I had returned”
25.3.2023-22.4.2023
Opening: 25.3.2023 at 15.00-17.00 at gallery Pallas

The next day I noticed I had returned, is a blind game – naivety combined with absurdity.

The work deals with the dynamics of human relationships through internal dynamics. How to be together, how separately? Are we in touch with our feelings / ourselves and how does that show in our ability to connect outside of ourselves? The work is Räsänen’s first video work and a dive into a fascinating new medium and the level of pictorial narration. In the future, he wants to explore the interfaces between video art and sculpture even more widely.

Lotta Räsänen is a performance and visual artist with a theater background. The focus of Räsänen’s work is the multidisciplinary use of media, material orientation and crip practice. Räsänen’s art structures questions of identity in relation to people, the environment and society.

He currently lives in Tartu and studies sculpture at Pallas University of Applied Sciences.

Before moving to Tartu, Räsänen worked in several theater productions in Helsinki and held one solo exhibition Bodies and mental landscapes at Galleria Rupla in Helsinki. In addition, he has participated in group exhibitions in Helsinki, Oulu and Tartu, and received two short-term working grants from the Art Promotion Center in 2020 and 2021. So far, Räsänen’s favorite experience was participating in the design and implementation of Minea Lång’s immersive installation at Studio Rex of the contemporary art museum Amos Rex in 2020.
