VIDEO SAUNA
Renvall's works often recycle found visual material, such as discarded family snapshots or 8mm family films. Renvall likes to combine experimental music and images in his works, or illustrate old Finnish hymns or folk songs – music not ordinarily heard on music videos.
Sometimes the artist performs his works to the accompaniment of live music. Renvall is also known for happenings made together with artists and experts from a variety of different fields for example Sauna (1998–), a portable sauna made up of a tent and a barrel, a work of art that invites people to bathe while investigating the core of Finnish identity. |
