Raimo Saarinen (b. 1984) creates live sculptures from plants and soil. Saarinen has brought natural elements into EMMA which, on closer inspection, have been made and maintained by humans. His work asks how much of our surroundings are made and shaped by humans. What structures are hidden in the landscape?
Raimo Saarinen’s work was a part of the In Search of the Present exhibition, which was on view in EMMA from 27 August 2022 to 15 January 2023.
A Cross-Section of an Imaginary Slope took 2,5 weeks to install. Take a look behind the scenes of EMMA and watch how the piece was built! ↓
