Nanna Hanninen was born in Finland in 1973 and currently lives there in the city of Kuopio. She studied at the Lahti Institute of Design in Finland and the University of Art and Design in Helsinki. Over the Past 10 years she has shown her work in solo shows and some of her images are a part of the International Institutional and Private Collections.
"Nanna Hänninen's minimalist photographs are dominated by the tension between the named and the unnamed, the visible and the invisible. Her works are aesthetically refined and delicate, cleared of noise and superfluous effects. One is prone to view Hänninen work as a purely formalist based photography. In the series "Fear and Security" however the artist reveals her obligation towards the social reality and her understanding of the psychological and mental mechanisms of society. Here as well the titles of the works are carrying sense, they are not just descriptive, but contain references to the artistic intention. Her works are both a commentary on the rational, functional society and at the same time a visualisation of the fundamental fear of anarchy within the system." - fiedler contemporary, Cologne, Germany.
