Ananya Tanttu (FI, b. 1994) is a Helsinki-based visual artist. She holds a BA from the Lahti Institute of Design, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Time and Space Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. Tanttu’s practice, through which she weaves text and elements of installation, is primarily lens-based. Her works can be found in both public and private collections, whilst she has exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions in both Finland and abroad.

 

At Foto Tallinn, Tanttu showcases A Book of the Sublime (A Dream Within a Dream): an extensive A2-sized conceptual book, encompassing 56 photo collage works and accompanying keyword lists. The project is a study on the relationship of the subconscious to the materiality of one’s environment, as well as the cyclical dimension of time.
