Josefina Nelimarkka
Josefina Nelimarkka (b. 1982, Helsinki, Finland) is a Finnish visual artist based between Helsinki and London.
Her multidisciplinary process-based practice has long been focused on creating sensorial experiences and realms responding to the ephemeral yet timeless and all-encompassing nature of what we perceive to be our world, combining the observed and the unknown. Explorations in meteorology, paleoclimatology, astronomy, the philosophy of language and semiosis alongside technology and real-time scientific data form the basis of a visual vocabulary aiming to express the critical yet invisible interactions between atmosphere, ecosystem and society. Nelimarkka’s current research looks into the atmospheric condition, the politics of air, the ontological properties of matter and the future scenarios of climate change. Art, science and technology come together in subtle materiality to capture and expand our relationship with the environment.
Nelimarkka is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki (2017), the Royal College of Art (2016) and Wimbledon College of Arts (2013).
