Heikki Kaski is a Finnish artist working with visual art, sound and performance. The background of his visual art practice is photography, and it permiates also the other “categories” of visual arts that he does, be it painting or video. The other trajectory of his work is sound and especially vocal sound.
Kaski has a background and schooling in “classical” music and a strong interested in choral music, – or, rather he’d like to call it choral sound. He holds an an MFA from Gothenburg University and has exhibited in solo and group shows in Finland and beyond.
Tranquillity was considered by many one of the best photobooks of 2014, and deservedly so. The photographs in the book, while documentary in nature, are beautifully suggestive. They explain nothing and tell no story in particular—each one of them is a purely visual experience that gets to you in a non-rational way, it flows into you much like music does.” ‘Photography is everywhere, all the time’. Heikki Kaski briefly spoke with us about his brilliant, must-see work Tranquillity. The book is now available at www.ftn-books.com
Aw, this was a really good post. Taking a few minutes
and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don’t seem to get
nearly anything done.
