| Description | In the course of his career Jyrki Karttunen has created many first-rate, powerfully expressive works, such as Days Of Disco (2009), Situation Room (2008), Human Imitations (2005) and Fairy (Keiju, 2002). Humorous light-heartedness contrasted by darker colours is typical for his works. Moreover, his movement language is surprising and original, fluent but form-oriented. After 10 years of working inside the Nomadi Productions Karttunen founded his own company Karttunen Kollektiv in 2007. |
