Erkki Huilla (FI, b. 2000) is a visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Across his artistic practice, Huilla combines documentary photography with staged images to create works that reflect on individual experiences within shared space. His works often address both personal and communal queer perspectives, as well as questions of performativity in society.
For Huilla, one of the driving forces of his practice is to reframe how we look at and interpret images, turning to unconventional methods of presenting his projects. In experimenting with new ways to produce images, his work has taken on a sculptural quality; on show at Foto Tallinn is one of Huilla’s lenticular images – an image that constructs and reconstructs itself when viewed at different angles.
Artist is presented by The Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki
