Artists's STATEMENT
Sarianna Tamminen has studied: Faculty of Humanities 2005 -2013 at University of Tampere and 2010 - 2013 University of Jyväskylä Finnish Literature, Art History and Media Culture. Graduated from Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) in 2005 with a degree in Fine Art from the Media Art program (BA). Studied 2 intensive courses in commercial photography at the School of Visual Communication in 2001.
Theoretical studies strongly influence the content of the works. The mediums used are media: text, photography, video, graphics, the internet environment and the recycling of personal and found objects. Objects circulate from one photograph to another and eventually end up as objects, lamps or object collages, assemblages. Linguistic shifts in meaning are intensified when the context in which objects are presented changes.

Dekadence. Dokumentarism. Realism. Environmental Centralization. Social Criticism . Abstract Photograph. Pictorialism. Agit -Prop.
