Nanna Hänninen focuses on environmental issues affecting global communities, warning of a rapidly approaching future. Her photo-based work challenges our views on climate change by exploring its gradual effects on our lives. Oscillating between reality and fiction, her images invite reflections on the nature of pictorial representation. By altering her initial subject matter, she creates a personal response to shared realities, blurring the lines between the figurative and the abstract. Hänninen’s work remains open to visual interpretation, compelling viewers to choose between the object and its symbolic reference. She deliberately instigates this dual interpretation, creating a resonance between two ways of reading her photographs. The fragile yet poetic dimension of her work emerges from this interplay between reality and fiction—a space where the imagery can feel like a dream or, at times, a nightmare.
