Arja Renell is an artist and an architect based in Helsinki. Her work evolves mainly around ecological and environmental issues which are investigated through place specific projects. Renell builds up multi layered bodies of work, often involving various research and voluntary organisations. She works with video, installation, events and performance, creating space for dialogue where different or conflicting histories, presents and futures coexist. Questions of how we should live as part of rapidly changing ecosystems are strongly present in her work.
