About me

Any object can be considered as an artwork or as the subject of scientific study. In both, we attempt to learn more by interpreting what we see.

I am interested in these rituals, in how we dance around these objects when we think of them as art or science.

Axel Straschnoy (born 1978) is a visual artist and filmmaker from Buenos Aires, based in Helsinki. His work deals with the social practices in science and art. His long-term, research-focused projects span planetarium films, performances, film installations, editions, travelling exhibitions, museum collections and VR films. He is interested in expeditions: literal and metaphorical, scientific and artistic. Straschnoy has participated in the Le Pavillon residency at Palais de Tokyo and trained in Art History at the University of Buenos Aires.

His work is often collaborative in nature. He is interested in alternative venues and new ways of framing the encounter between the work and the audience. He created the production company Kolme Perunaa as a tool to realize his work.
