Artist Interview: Jorma Puranen

Artist Interview: Jorma Puranen

In this interview, Jorma Puranen talks about his photographic series "Imaginary Homecoming" and "Icy Prospects". His interest in using archival material combined with their layered stories, narratives and overlapping cultural meeting points has been the central theme of Puranen's work from the beginning of his career. He creates a matrix that translates itself into a visual field of fantasy that invites the viewer to a place of other nee and elsewhere.
