The exhibition ‘Seen as Unseen’ implies the question of what is being hidden/revealed from the observers. The focus is on the relationships between inner and outer layers, covering and core, mask and truth. Covering or wrapping functions as the filter transmitting or blocking out the qualities of contents. In a selective way, it’s shaping the communication between inside and out.

Liina Leo takes interest in the ambivalent nature of materials. Modern societal norms demand a rapid cycle of consumption and disposal with objects such as plastic bags or product packaging. This in turn leads us to cover or hide these objects, away from our daily reality in attempt to forget their existence altogether. These remnants of the Anthropocene are now the center of focus, showing them in a new context, in remembrance of their continued existence.
