Photography. A color photo of a young woman who appears to be immersed in a forest floor overgrown with mushrooms. The photo shows a slightly hilly ground covered with green moss. Various mushrooms grow scattered in the greenery. Half a woman's head grows in the middle of the picture. A young woman with short brown hair and blue eyes looks out of the moss up to her nose. (The photo was arranged, the woman covered with moss and integrated into the landscape). Info: Hailing from the deep forests of Eastern Finland, Riitta Ikonen works with performance, wearable sculptures, photography and mail art. Her arranged photographs of people clothed in nature, merging with it, becoming one and yet often seen as a disruptive factor in the original landscape, are exhibited in international galleries and cultural projects. Unfortunately, they are also often stolen and used for silly memes and profile pictures.
