Flesh and Bones - discussions about existence
Vuorenmaa Camilla
This audio work, Flesh and Bones (2021, re-edited in 2024), is based on real interviews I conducted during my artist residency at the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York in 2019. The sections are titled About the Future, Flesh and Bones, and Meeting the Spirits.
I interviewed people from various professional backgrounds along the East Coast and also visited the Lily Dale Spiritualist community. In these interviews, I asked questions about their visions of the future and whether they had experienced any supernatural encounters.

In her artistic process, it has become increasingly important for her to address fundamental questions by meeting and observing her subjects in authentic situations. This approach has also led her to work with media art alongside her career as a visual artist. Film has always been an inspiring theme behind her work. Vuorenmaa depicts people and humanity in her art. She searches for motifs in magazines, books, and through taking photographs of different groups of people connected by profession, beliefs, hobbies, or shared circumstances. Vuorenmaa (b. 1979) graduated from the Department of Painting at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. She lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. In 2017, Vuorenmaa was nominated for Finland's most prestigious art prize, Ars Fennica. She received the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts Prize in spring 2015.
