Gunzi Holmström‘s Turku Goes Oukkidoukki will be screened at the Festival des cinémas différents et expérimentaux de Paris in the Focus Programme Hacking the past and the present. The festival is held from October 10–19, 2025 in Paris, France.

Turku goes Oukkidoukki (2005) uses the world and language of a computer game to comment on the role of an art museum as a social space.

Gun (Gunzi) Holmström is a visual artist from Porvoo, Finland, who works with digital art, sculpture and painting. Holmström studied at Turku Art Academy in Finland in 1990–93 and in Gothenburg University in Sweden in 2004–06. She is a versatile artist who explores the complex web of contradictory human emotions and situations, and addresses current social and moral issues. The essential element in her work is the humane nature of social communication. Her works have been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions in Finland and internationally since the 1990s.
