About the Artist

Ananya Tanttu’s (b. 1994) lens-based practice attends to the simultaneity of dualism and oneness, the primal relationship between the human and land, as well as questions around the metaphysics and supposed sacredness of the photograph. Through constructing altar shelves and imaginary shrines, she addresses the ritual function of images, and thus also our bodily interaction with those images.

Ananya Tanttu, Double weave, 2026, image: petri summanen

If the warp was consciousness and space, experience the weft, and time the rhythm of weaving, then I’d be weaving in cycles of receiving and releasing. I contemplate the shape of negative space, the dark side of the moon, the hollowness of a bowl.
