Residency artists and researchers Photography Minna Pöllänen Visual Artist Minna Pöllänen (b.1980) is an artist living and working in Helsinki and London. Pöllänen combines photography, site-specific works and elements of participatory art. Her works are united by a thematic focus that draws on the notion of observing, experiencing and owning a landscape. During the residency, my main focus will be on the manor’s wood workshop where I will build tools and equipment designed for being in and observing a landscape. Also along for the ride is my sheet film camera which I will be using to take pictures of the pieces I build. I will also continue work on a photography collection entitled Nature Trail.
