Art Realm '26 - Performative Intervention: Transition Zone

Transition Zone is an installation created collaboratively by Anna Hyrkkänen (b. 1979), Katri Mononen (b. 1981), and Mia Saharla (b. 1983). Resembling a stage set, it forms an environment of paintings, sculptures, and other three-dimensional elements, further activated by light effects and video projections. The work extends the group’s collective practice to a point where individual authorship is relinquished in favour of shared processes shaped by chance and contingency.

As its title suggests, the installation can be understood as a liminal space and site of transformation. It also draws on the natural sciences: the transition zone is a geological term referring to the layer between the Earth’s upper and lower mantle. During the exhibition, the artists will transform the installation three times through performative interventions. Visitors are invited to attend and witness the emergence of new meanings on June 18 at 12:00 p.m. and on August 7 at 4:30 p.m.
