Otso Prunnila (b. 2001, Helsinki) is a Finnish artist based in The Hague. His practice explores how spaces resonate with lived experience, memory, and (day)dreaming, questioning the ways in which we assign value to them. Through prolonged engagement with specific locations or by working directly in-situ, he seeks to attune himself, and the viewer/listener, to the particular rhythms and atmospheres of a place.
