Reija Meriläinen is a Helsinki based artist working with moving image, sculpture, and installations that combine the digital and physical. In her work, social tensions and power are linked to physical and material sensations. While visually alluring, her work often includes elements of violence and has a visceral sense of the body that is communicated through haptic materials. Meriläinen’s work has previously been shown in several group exhibitions in Finland and abroad, and in solo exhibitions such as EN GARDE in Helsinki’s HAM gallery and Fight or Flight in gallery Unknown Cargo in Stockholm.
