About the Artist

Minna Kokko

Minna Kokko seeks to reveal the invisible and intimate connection between all living beings. Her work is about restoring that connection. She feels it is urgent for humankind to reconnect with nature, and her work aims toward that end. The idea of crossing - times, spaces, identities - has been present in her work since the beginning, reflecting her dual culture between Finland and France. Her work is often composed of transparencies and overlays. Plants and trees fascinate her. She uses many photographic techniques, from digital to experimental and alternative photography.
