Petri Eskelisen

My works are often inspired by impossible ideas that have become close to possible through thought and research. Such ideas present artists with an ideal opportunity to apply hazy logic at the points where art and science interact. What would a black hole between two people be like? How could sunrise and sunset be speeded up by a minute? I try to strip down these kinds of problems to their bare essentials and to present the solution as a model that suggests a possible reality. On the surface my works often make reference to the instruments, history and natural phenomena of science, but at the heart of my method is problem solving. Natural science and history are full of problems from a human perspective.
