What happens when we step outside our own bubbles and open our eyes to new ways of seeing? Amos Rex’s spring exhibitions bring together two artists whose works portray attempts at communicating and at understanding others – sometimes effortlessly, sometimes falteringly, but always offering new insights. Anna Estarriola’s and Enni-Kukka Tuomala’s exhibitions at Amos Rex opens tomorrow on 2 March 2025.

The exhibition by Catalan-born, Helsinki-resident Anna Estarriola (b. 1980) Staged Circumstances and Piles of Things at Amos Rex explores the impossible and our perception of reality. Its 17 installations vary in scale, sharpening the senses as the experience constantly evolves.

Spanning Amos Rex’s underground spaces as a labyrinth, the exhibition blends sculpture, moving image, sound, and electronics into a dynamic journey of shifting perspectives.

An award-winning media artist, Estarriola draws inspiration from science and belief systems. Her works are featured internationally, including in the Finnish National Gallery and Saastamoinen Foundation collections.

This is her largest solo exhibition to date, curated by Katariina Timonen.

Enni-Kukka Tuomala’s (b. 1987) Expanding Empathies transforms Studio Rex into an experimental space for encounters and self-reflection. At its core, Empathy Echo Chamber invites two strangers into a guided experience of sharing and reflection.The artwork has previously attracted attention in London and is now being shown in Finland for the first time as part of Tuomala’s new body of works.

Tuomala, a Finnish artist based in London, explores empathy, power, and space. She has collaborated with the Finnish Parliament, developing empathy tools for politics.

Anna Estarriola’s Staged Circumstances and Piles of Things and Enni-Kukka Tuomala’s Expanding Empathies are at Amos Rex 2.4.2025–31.8.2025.
