Meri Ekola is a Finnish artist currently living in Brussels. She’s curious to explore the sensory qualities of experience in her artistic work. During her residency in K41 project space she has been in research to capture the materiality of light through a site sensitive approach. Light is always an integral part of her work, this time she uses it as an activating component of a two dimensional image and reflects this role. Her new work Highlights takes over K41 project space ground floor in the dark weeks of December. She lights it up with the reminiscent rays of early autumn sun. A double exposure of time and material is present to question the notion of a still life. An inspirational frame for her exhibition is the direct translation of a photograph in Finnish, valokuva, a light picture.
Meri Ekola uses light as her main medium of expression. She is working in the installation context as well as in the wide field of performing arts. She holds a M.A. degree in lighting design from the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki.
