Anu Pennanen’s work explores the way we deal with urbanization and the effects of globalization on the way we live. At the intersection of visual art, film and architecture, it features people who question the built environment they are part of. Pennanen’s creations always start with a concrete and real space, a territory close to her: it allows her to practice something very close to life, which has to do with history, anthropology, archaeology and existential problems. Often, that territory is segregated. Pennanen’s work has been exhibited in museums and at festivals all over the world. She has had solo exhibitions in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and her native Finland.
