Anna Tuori’s solo exhibition Paradise News has opened at Contemporary Fine Arts gallery in Berlin. Tuori’s new works engage in a loose dialogue with the tradition of still life and memento mori. The morbid and disturbing comes to the fore, and the body becomes a bearer of existential meaning. Feelings of shelter and fear coexist.
“The works follow neither a logic of either/or nor an impulse toward reconciliation. Instead, they allow contradictory sensations to remain side by side, pointing to an underlying existential unease and to the fragmentary nature of perception itself – always situational, always shaped by sentiment.”
The exhibition runs until 28 February.
