Hertta Kiiski’s works dream of a new affinity between the human and the inhuman, the organic and the inorganic, transforming existing hierarchies. Her photographs, videos, textiles and installations exist in a framework of youth and love with aspects of the magical, the mythical and the esoteric. Like youth itself, Kiiski’s work inhabits a precarious state between daydream and unrest. While she weaves fabulous realities many of her works are made in collaboration with her dogs and her daughters.
Hertta Kiiski works and lives in Turku, Finland. She earned an MFA from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts (2015) and a BA in Photography from the Turku Arts Academy (2012). Her work is presented in galleries and museums internationally and in Finland. Her third book Otherworld will be published by Kehrer Verlag (DE) in September 2023.
