Interview with Mikko Rikala on the occasion of his second solo exhibition "Paradigms of Chance". The show was on display at Persons Projects from 21 November 2020 - 27 February 2021.

Mikko Rikala is an artist who uses the photographic process as tool for gathering and recording material to help him in his philosophical pursuit of finding different ways to explore what’s behind the rational self. Rikala states, "I’m trying to uncover the relationship between what is seen as rational on one hand and what is perceived as irrational on the other.” His work is a reflection that merges mystical and philosophical thoughts through the empirical process of observation.
