Hanna Antonsson, Hanne Tyrmi and Kaja Leijon

Podium presents the group exhibition “No Fear” reflecting on the dystopian climate change, ecological crisis and loss of biodiversity we are witnessing today. Hanne Tyrmi’s work explores the vulnerability that characterizes both society and the individual, an experience of barriers and loss, power and impotence. Tyrmi uses ideas about the body – as social and political reality – as a central point in her work. For this exhibition Tyrmi will present two works - "Jeg roper navnet mitt og holder meg for ørene" from 2022 and "Omen" produced in 1996. By processing materials such as lead, steel, bronze and cardboard, the artist conveys basic human experiences and gives them physical and tactile form.

With an interest in the animal's perspective on reality, its symbolic nature and constant presence in mythology and our everyday life, Hanna Antonsson creates sculptural hybrids by blending taxidermy with sculptural and photographic elements. In this exhibition, Antonsson will present “Auto Wing VIII”, where birds, their wings and feathers are deconstructed and morphed with new materials, artificially coming to life through moving electronic parts.

Kaja Leijons video work "We Carry The Fire” consists of edited drone videos of various natural landscapes. These video sequences are at first supernatural in their perfection, but dissolve into pixelated images of analog noise from broken VHS clips spliced with documentation of natural disasters impulsively filmed on smartphones by witnesses. The physical world merges with the virtual one, and the film can be read as a status report on our future, present and past.
