Sisu, A hypnotic journey through time,
sound recording, Finland, 2024
Hypnosis, a scientifically studied state of focused attention, enhances the brain-body connection, allowing the subconscious mind to reframe thoughts and behaviors by forming new neural pathways.
In her latest project, SISU: A Hypnotic Journey Through Time, showcased at the Collective Intelligence Longa exhibition at Galleria Longa & Fönari in Helsinki in August 2024, Nina utilizes these principles to craft an immersive, science-based exploration of Finland’s potential futures. The work invites participants to experience different future scenarios, encouraging them to contemplate and choose the kind of future they wish to embrace. Through a hypnotic narrative, the project prompts deep reflection on our environmental relationship, promoting a shift toward greater ecological awareness.
