Synopsis

This extensive volume covers visual artist Tero Puha s production from 1995 to 2010. The works presented in the book include Puha s Pop Art pieces, his monochromatic studies of the body as well as video projects and installations. There are also numerous previously unpublished pictures. Essays in the book are leading Finnish art experts: Leevi Haapala, Livia Hekanaho, Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger, Leena-Maija Rossi and Annamari Vänskä. The book also includes an interview with the artist himself. The book covers many controversial projects that over the years have both shocked and amused the Finnish public: The Shop of Basic Needs installation (1997) in Helsinki sold canned emotions and mental states. Man Gang Showroom (2001) offered consumers different male types with accessories, and Swap and Go Organ Fair (2003) marketed cloned body parts of movie stars for customers dissatisfied with their own body. The Love and Lust Museum project (1995 2010) was a tongue-in-cheek account of two fictitious B movie stars Linda Lust and Cheryl Love. The book also contains material from Puha s latest short film projects.

À propos de l'auteur

Tero Puha (b. 1971 in Finland) is a visual artist working with photography, video and digital art. In his artistic work, he often explores the life of the modern individual, focusing on body image, identity, gender roles and consumerism. Attempts to define the line between the natural and the unnatural are bound to create conflicts and pressures for the modern individual in search of identity and purpose in life. These are the sources of Puha s inspiration.Tero Puha graduated from the Imatra Institute of Art (1996) and subsequently graduated with an MFA from the University of Art and Design Helsinki (2000). Since then he has worked in Helsinki, London, Paris, Berlin and New York. His work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in the collections of several art museums.
