For her upcoming exhibition at NOUA, artist Steffi Klenz showcases new work. These collage-like photographic pieces draw from architecture, animal mimicry and traditional Japanese craft, inviting us to consider how we might build communities that better serve local people. The exhibition is part of the official program for Bodø2024, and is part of the project 'Out of the Metropolis' in collaboration between NOUA, the Finnish Museum of Photography and DoubleDummy (oootm.com)
