For the upcoming exhibition at Persons Projects / Helsinki School, we are proud to announce the solo show Arno Rafael Minkkinen - Going The Distance. The opening reception will also host the presentation of his last publication Minkkinen, 2019.
Arno Rafael Minkkinen
is one of the most historical artist’s within the Helsinki School, as
an artist, teacher, writer, and mentor as well as being a recipient of
the Lucie Award. For over forty years he has been photographing his
naked body. His self-portraits are a mixture of performance art, staged
especially for the camera, combined with an intimate relationship with
nature. His method of working has always been about testing his own
personal limits and how far he can push the human body with all the
physical risks he encounters in capturing himself within the photograph.
