Maija Tammi

12th April - 12th May

Intro  //  Bio  //  Installations //  Works 

The work pursues the human place in the continuum of existence and ageing and examines practical and metaphysical questions raised by hydra* all the way from the 1700s to this day.

*Hydra vulgaris is a small fresh-water polyp that does not age – at all.
