Artist’s Statement

I make installations, videotapes, environmental art, performances, photographs and drawings.

I work with used and discarded materials and natural materials. Working with nature fascinates me.

My environmental works are momentary in nature; they act as transient signifiers of the space and time with which they exist.

Anne Pehkonen´s work is conceptual and often narrative in form. It involves image, text, sound, installations and interventions, as well as collaborative and community projects. She makes also performance and environmental art.

In her work, questions related to identity and the different strategies we acquire to define ourselves in relation to others and our Environments are repeatedly explored.

In her new works she uses voice-overs in combination with moving images –
or constructed situations – to create multi-layered narratives.

The stories told, fictional and documentary, are related to what you see,
but also the situation you are in while listening.
