Nature and imagination meet in Mari Keto’s solo exhibition Super/Natural in November at the Koldinghus Castle in Denmark.
Keto transforms Koldinghus’ Ruin Hall into a large-scale installation and invites visitors to engage in a magical and absurd nature landscape where beauty attracts the eye but upon closer observation, reveals unpleasant truths. Keto´s inspiration grows out of her own childhood experiences in the Finnish nature and her observations of the prevailing view of nature in the city where she lives today.
The exhibition opens on November 24th 2017 and runs through April 2nd 2018.
