Gone Girl - Deeds of modification
Studio installation
The event titled Gone Girl features nomadic sculptures as well as moving images and sound.
The paintings have left the stretchers and they seek out the uncontrollable and invisible world.
Emotions hide behind moving images and dilute into the surroundings.
The name Gone Girl refers to a painting by Louise Bourgeois.

The cosmos, the instability, and constant change, rub me to work. They tickle and irritate me, and I channel them and seek "to touch the infinity through physical action"*. (Broms, flux 2021)

Situations
Anna Broms is a Helsinki based visual artist working in the field of expanded painting and nomadic sculpture.
Her process-oriented practice has a delicate ecological approach to material; sustainable cotton cambric, reusable metal, and time as her stuff, she creates situations, experimental painting installations with an interest in fragility and porousness, in particular. Rather than solid objects, her works can be seen as subjects, evolving. Instead of replicating or describing nature, she collaborates with it.
The name Gone Girl refers to a painting by Louise Bourgeois.
