Explanatory statement of the jury:
Nanna Hänninen lives and works in Kuopio, Finland, and has held a number of international exhibitions, e.g. in Germany and Spain. Hänninen graduated from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 2002. She has taken used versatile possibilities of photographic material: like long exposure times, negatives backlinks colors and multiple exposures.
