Hanna Marno: Semianguineus

Hanna Marno’s solo exhibition in Forum Box.

The sculpture installation Semisanguineus contemplates its material being in the midst of various systems of naturalness and unnaturalness, as a bystander and a participant.

Semisanguineus refers to the colours of the red-gilled webcap (Cortinarius Semisanguineus.) Its half bloodred colours are used as a dye in the wood and plaster sculptures, as to the idea of ​​a sculpture being the maker of life and a vessel.

However, from the perspective of the material sculpture, it’s insignificant whether it’s dead or alive. Or at least as long as either one of these signifiers is considered a definition of some common participation. It just so happens that certain thoughts, gestures, beings, states of being, pseudo-living and pseudo-dead, including symbionts, growth directions and diagnoses, are closer to life and thus with foresight.

Starting points for Semisanguineus were the natural dye and special wood working experiments and processes alongside questions about the interaction between artistic authorship and temporality.

The sound design for the exhibition was composed by Harri Sippola.
